<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An engaging, multilayered read-aloud that celebrates preschoolers' love of trains while exploring sound, rhyme, and rhythm<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>here do the trains go?</br> There and back.</br> Let's sing a train song</br> All down the track.</br> </i></b></p> <p>Toddlers love trains and the noises they make. <b><i>Listen Up! Train Song</i></b> uses repeating verse and bright photographs to match this enthusiasm with a unique take on the conceptual sound book that is perfect for reading aloud. Each spread uses onomatopoeia to highlight the <i>ting-a ling!</i> of subway door chimes, the <i>chuff-a-gruff-a!</i> of a diesel engine, and more. And after the children have sung along through the colorful pages, a final note to caregivers offers enriching, age-appropriate activities to keep building their child's foundational learning skills. </p> <p>A first expectation of kindergarten curriculums is for preschoolers to explore sounds, rhythms, and language structures. With repetitive, easy-to-remember verse from the award-winning author of <i>Nat the Cat Can Sleep Like That</i> and <i>Shape Up, Construction Trucks!</i>, Victoria Allenby's <b><i>Listen Up! Train Song</i></b> invites its young audience to recognize the songs of the trainyard and to proudly sing their own. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Praise for <i>Listen Up!
