This book was a nonfiction story about freight trains and things they carry and their purpose. It was all about trains, more then I have ever known. I know this author writes a lot of nonfiction books about transportation and many of them are easy readers. They are put together like chapter books with a table of contents, index, glossary, and finding more information. All the pictures are real illustrations and there are vocabulary words that are highlighted throughout the book that can be looked up in the glossary. I thought it was very interesting. It didn't really have a story line since it was all true and informational and filled with all kinds of facts, so it's hard to write about the content and purpose. I didn't love the book but I didn't hate it because I actually learned some things in it. My child study really liked it because he is really into trains and the pictures really got his attention since they were real and he has actually seen trains like that before, so he could relate it to something he knows.
