Often the magic of books like “Freight Train Board Book” is not in what the author has to say but in what it inspires from the minds of the children who experience it for the first time.  To a child of the intended audience’s age range (2 and up), the vividly colored images come to life in ways they often don’t to jaded adults and their naturally inquisitive minds will want to learn more about what they see.  Thus is the genius of childrens book authors like Donald Crews.  They create timeless work like “Freight Train Board Book” and let the real creativity begin with the children who open the books.
