Freight Train

這本凱迪克銀牌獎作品有如兒歌「火車快飛，火車快飛，穿過高山，越過小溪，不知穿過幾百里...」中所描述的場景！DonaldCrews別出心裁地將火車各節車廂以多元色彩來呈現，從車尾開始一一介紹每節各具特色的車廂，這時充滿動能的黑色蒸氣火車頭開始冒出濃煙，嗚嗚！騎洽騎洽！速度飛快的火車，送貨去了！先靜態地呈現車廂，再介紹充滿動力的車頭，之後是充滿動感的旅程。Crews擅長以靜態的圖文，描述動態的旅程，深得小讀者的喜愛。

Red caboose at the back, orange tank car, green cattle car, purple box car, black tender and a black steam engine . . . freight train.

In simple, powerful words and vibrant illustrations, Donald Crews evokes the rolling wheels of that childhood favorite: a train. This oversize edition (17 1/2 x 14 3/8") is perfect for sharing in a classroom or library.

This Calecott 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.
