Kirkus Review

Ty loves adventure, but he is having a little trouble finding someone to join him. Ty, a little black boy, wants to play, but everyone in the house is too busy to take time for him. After being turned down by his dad, mom, and big brother, Corey, Ty wanders downstairs to the family room, where he finds an empty cardboard box. He and his puppy inspect the box, draw some wheels onto it, and make a locomotive that rumbles and whistles down an imaginary track. Ty steers his train past farmland and a city and through a tunnel, picking up familiar and eager passengers along the way. This My First I Can Read book will engage young beginning readers. They will relate to Ty's playfulness, sense of adventure, and energetic imagination. Readers will also enjoy the vivid and playful illustrations that take them from Ty's home and into the world he imagines. Repeated onomatopoeic phrases build anticipation: "Woo-woo," "Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga," and "Clickety-clack." These are framed around the pickup of each passenger, helping to control pacing while giving readers an opportunity for fun. Mata renders the imaginary scenes in a childlike crayon that blends nicely with the warm visions of this black family's middle-class home. Both an excellent book for guided reading and a winning read-aloud. (Early reader. 4-6) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
