Train Ride by June Crebbin

A little girl and her mother board the train in town and set off on a journey through the countryside. As they travel, the girl looks out of the train window, asking "What shall I see? What shall I see?". Then, when she's named what she sees, she says, "That's what I see, that's what I see." This double refrain continues throughout the book, as she sees sheep and cows, a mare and her foal, a shiny red tractor, a ticket collector, her own face in the glass, a gaggle of geese, and a giant balloon. Meanwhile, the train climbs a hill, passes a farm, goes through a tunnel until, eventually, it slows down and comes into a seaside town with a market square and a lighthouse, arriving finally at the station. And who is there waiting? Grandma! June Crebbin is the author of "Fly by Night", "Carrie Climbs a Mountain", "Danny's Duck" and two volumes of verse, "The Jungle Sale" and "The Dinosaur's Dinner". Stephen Lambert illustrated "The Snow Maiden" and "The Magpie and the Star", as well as "Fly by Night" and "What is the Sun?".
