Happy Transportation Tuesday! We have been super MIA recently due to Kingston's big 1st birthday, which is completely consuming my life! This week is train week. K is brand new to trains. One of his Christmas gifts that is waiting for him downstairs is his first wooden train set, a simple figure eight track with a little bit of theming and a few trains. Despite how busy we have been, we are going to be bringing you a few train related posts this week: a book list, an activity, and a craft.
Today, we are bringing you a fun list of 14 train board books for your baby or toddler!
I Love Trains!
- This colorful and informative book is narrated by a young train lover. It is full of fun rhymes and vibrant cartoon pictures. We also own the sequel to this book, I Love Trucks!

Bright Baby Noisy Trains
- This Roger Priddy (one of our favorites!) book is a great first introduction to trains for your baby! This book has a button that makes train sounds. It is such a fun and interactive way to introduce facts about trains as well as the sound that they make!

The Little Engine That Could - This board book is an abridged version of the classic. This is one of the quintessential train books that every child needs to read! I love the lesson of perseverance that it teaches.
The Little Train
- This classic book by Lois Lenski about Engineer Small is a great book for little ones that have longer attention spans. The board book version is abridged, but still may be a little bit long for some. The illustrations are vintage and delightful, and it truly gives a great introduction to train parts and processes!

Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo
- The illustrations in this book illustrated by David Kirk can't be beat! The rhyming text flows beautifully and will keep your little ones attention! You can follow the toys in the story as they work the train and ride through colorful scenery.

Choo Choo
- With super simple text, this board book is an excellent choice for a train book for your littlest babe. The sound words used in it such as "choo choo", "toot toot", and "clack clack" are fun for your toddler to listen to and interact with. The bold collage illustrations really add to the appeal!

Trains Board Book
- We have a lot of these books by Byron Barton. They all have colorful pictures with bold black outlines. The text is straight forward and simple. Kingston likes pointing to the people sitting inside of the train.

Inside Freight Train
- I personally LOVE this book by the same author of Freight Train! It is super interactive for your little ones. I love seeing what is inside the cars. You slide the pages of the board book apart for a peek inside of the freight cars. Such a fun train read!
