    My 3 y/o DS absolutely adores “The Little Engine that Could”.  Are there any other train books that are on a similar level that I could read to him?  I looked into the original Thomas stories, but I wasn’t crazy about the attitudes portrayed in them.  BTW, he loves the cover of “Laying Down the Rails”.  He always asks me where the train is. 🙂

    Not sure about other train books but we do not read Thomas either. My 4yo dd will say “Thomas has a bad attitude mommy”

    The Train to Grandma’s is a favorite around here. It is expensive on Amazon, but maybe from the library?

    My kids LOVE the Trusty the Train series.  Here is the first one in the series:  http://store.lamplighter.net/trusty-tried–true-p368.aspx
