Red guard's van at the back. Orange petrol tanker next. Yellow grain hopper... Stunningly simply in concept, design and language, Freight Train is a perfect book for introducing very young children to different colours and the concept of colour merging. The freight train moves along through tunnels, past cities, over bridges, in darkness and in daylight with its assorted multi-coloured cargo. As the train goes faster and faster the colours of the different trucks merge, until finally the whole train disappears.
First published in 1978, Freight Train continues to steam its way into the imaginations of readers young and old.
