Trains Don’t Sleep

Written by Andria Warmflash Rosenbaum   Illustrated by Deirdre K. Gill,

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Spring 2017

ISBN: 0544380746

Puffing, chuffing, never yawning 
Climbing hills as day is dawning. 
Trains don’t sleep, they 
CLANG and HOOT

Cross bridges and canyons, plow through snow, charge down mountains, and meander across fields filled with sheep. And when it is time to rest and dreams are just ahead, never fear—trains don’t sleep so that you can.

With the feel of a classic and vivid artwork that captures the power and majesty of trains, this is a fast-paced rhyming ode to the locomotive.
