A fanciful and fun rendition.–Jane Marino, Bronxville Public Library, NYCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. Swirling clouds surround a train that doesn't need tracks and at times looks like it's flying to its destination. On the way, the little ones are served bottles of milk, take naps, and then, one by one, are dropped off at their new homes. A guitar-playing narrator and his younger siblings sit together on their front porch, as the boy tries to explain where babies come from.

Rambunctious & reassuring at the same time, this singsongy story will have readers giggling all the way down the track
NEHeap said Sweet, fun and funny - everything you want in a Childrens Book.. Lovely illustrations accompany this fantastic tune by the quintessential American Folk Songwriter, Woody Guthrie. My mother was so in love with this book that she had me purchase multiple copies so that she could share them as gifts for all my sisters.. E. R. Bird said Remarkably young train spotters. Woody Guthrie is the source of a countless new picture books every single year. It's as if the man was some kind of a bottomless source of material, long after his folksinging days.

We originally checked this out of the library, and my son (3) wanted to read it every night week after week. For me, the illustrations are incredible - so wonderful, and if you have the chance to listen to the Daddy-O-Daddy! cd you can hear Kim Wilson's version of the Woody Guthrie song which is pretty special.
