Description
A beautiful, rhythmic, read-aloud text taking the reader on a fantasy train ride through a storm at night.
When the rain fingers drum out a dance on the pane. When the windows are foggy enough for my name. A pitter-pat-pat, a pitter-pat-pat, a pittery-pittery-pittery-pat. When it's thundering down on the roof, in the lane, from the storm, comes the call ... "All aboard the Rain Train!" Join the children for a journey on the Rain Train. Listen to the noises the train makes as it moves through the countryside and into the dark night.
