Summary

'Huffitty-chuffitty . . . huffitty-chuffitty . . . huffitty-chuffitty puff went the smoke from the Little Red Train's funnel.' When a lorry driver scoffs at the Little Red Train for looking old and useless, Duffy is quite upset. But the Little Red Train soon proves its worth when terrible traffic, breakdowns and faulty lights stop the lorries being able to deliver. And the Little Red Train doesn't look quite so useless, or little, after all! Ben Blathwayt's Little Red Train books, full of intricate detail, have proved a big hit with children. With a minimal text and big, busy pages Ben's books have enormous appeal for young children.

Now enjoy this classic picture book with the accompanying audio CD, read by Richard Briers with music and sound effects.

Reviews
