Repeated onomatopoeic phrases build anticipation: “Woo-woo,” “Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga,” and “Clickety-clack.” These are framed around the pickup of each passenger, helping to control pacing while giving readers an opportunity for fun. Readers will also enjoy the vivid and playful illustrations that take them from Ty’s home and into the world he imagines. They will relate to Ty’s playfulness, sense of adventure, and energetic imagination. This My First I Can Read book will engage young beginning readers. Ty steers his train past farmland and a city and through a tunnel, picking up familiar and eager passengers along the way. He and his puppy inspect the box, draw some wheels onto it, and make a locomotive that rumbles and whistles down an imaginary track. After being turned down by his dad, mom, and big brother, Corey, Ty wanders downstairs to the family room, where he finds an empty cardboard box. Ty, a little black boy, wants to play, but everyone in the house is too busy to take time for him. This will work well for preschoolers to share with their caregivers.Ty loves adventure, but he is having a little trouble finding someone to join him. Fans of the series will probably understand it better than those that are new to it.įinal verdict: WINTER WONDERLAND is a charming early reader that celebrates Christmas and all the joy of new snow. What left me wanting more: As a small thing, there is a lot that children will need explained in the story, as the text is very simple. Colorful illustrations keep readers engaged. The large, clear font helps readers with early word recognition and makes it easier for caregivers to read aloud. The story encourages children to dream big, as Ty wishes for Santa and gets to see him at the end. His excitement is contagious as he compares the snow to his globe and finds all sorts of exciting things on the walk with his mother. What I loved: This is a cute early reader that celebrates winter and Christmas with Ty. Ty dreams of seeing Santa and hopes for it while they enjoy the snow. As he and his mother walk, they notice all the fun things of the season, such as polar bears and The Nutcracker dancers.
Ty is so excited to find that it is snowing outside, and he is thrilled to go play. WINTER WONDERLAND is a cute early reader about Christmas and snow.
