After noticing that I have never done a train specific story time (well, during the life of my blog, anyway), I decided it was about time! I found some great train books out there (which are listed in our catalog as under the subject "railroads trains juvenile fiction", NOT "trains juvenile fiction" as I had assumed. After searching for "trains juvenile fiction" and finding only about 12 books, I figured there was a problem).
Anyway, here are the books that I chose for today's story time!
The Goodnight Train by June Sobel
Dinosaur Train by John Steven Gurney
Clickety-Clack by Rob and Amy Spence
And, as always, it's FMRNS!!! WHOOOOOOOT!!!!! A and I were lucky enough to be able to get together a couple times this past week to have Bonus Night of FMRNS! We watched The Pink Panther Strikes Again, from 1976 with Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom and Lesley-Anne Down. We also watched True Grit, from 1969 with John Wayne, Glenn Campbell and Kim Darby (not to mention Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper) - the only western on the list.
This evening, A and I are going to watch a silent film from 1927 called Metropolis. It's been a while since we watched a silent film (the last one was Nosferatu, from 1922 based on the Dracula story), so I am excited!!

Which of the train books do you like best? My son loves trains.
Also -- how did you like True Grit?
Out of those three, Clickety Clack is my favorite!! But, all three of them are really good (and one even has DINOSAURS!!)
True Grit was awesome!! I really like John Wayne, and damn, those other boys (Glenn Campbell, Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper) all look so young! Of course, it was all testosterone, but a good (I mean fabulous!) movie just the same!!
