Book Description
The Railway Carriage Child is the autobiography of a child raised in a pair of Great Eastern Railway carriages, built in 1887, converted to living accommodation in the 1920s and home to Wendy's family to the present day. Set in the Cambridgeshire fens, this story not only gives a personal account of an unusual childhood but chronicles the social history of this ever changing part of England. With a strong topographical background, it introduces some colourful characters and takes us back to the quieter times of the early and mid 20th century.

Book Description
In simple, powerful words and vibrant illustrations, Donald Crews evokes the rolling wheels of that childhood favorite: a train. This Caldecott Honor Book features bright colors and bold shapes. Even a child not lucky enough to have counted freight cars will feel he or she has watched a freight train passing after reading Freight Train. Donald Crews used childhood memories of trains seen during his travels to his grandparents' farm in the American South as the inspiration for this timeless favorite. New York magazine's The Strategist chose Freight Train as one of the "Best (Nonobvious) Baby Books to Bring to a Shower." As The Strategist stated: "The Caldecott Honor Book is spare and minimal in both art and text and follows the journey of a freight train and all its cars until it rolls off the page and into the distance. It’s a good way to learn all the different names of train cars, too." Red caboose at the back, orange tank car, green cattle car, purple box car, black tender and a black steam engine . . . freight train.

Book Description
"The evidence is overwhelming that George M. Pullman was, in his day, the foremost prophet of the good life and loomed largest among the opulent carbuilders in the general imagination. In the long light of history Pullman will be remembered as the man who put the American people on wheels, and also as the greatest single agency in the spread and appreciation of luxury on an almost universal scale. At the height of his fabulous career, George Pullman could boast that his guests occupid 260,000 beds every night in the year and that the total registration in his guest book came to 26,000,000 every twelve months. He maintained clerks at 2,950 registration desks for the sole purpose of assigning guests to room and dormitory space."--Inside cover of jacket
