In Seymour Simon''s Book of Trains, the author dedicates one
spread each to various kinds of trains, with a full-color
photograph on one side and, opposite, a couple of paragraphs
describing it.
內容簡介:
Trains can carry
grain and gravel,
milk and machines,
cars and computers,
pipes and people.
Seymour Simon′s exploration of these very different trains and
their uses, combined with his characteristically eye-catching
full-color photographs, captures the beauty and power of steam
trains, diesel trains, electric trains, and more -- all at
work!
