PreSchool-K–The night watchman in a rail yard is a good listener. One night, he hears a voice and realizes that a steam engine has asked him to sing a lullaby. Niccolini sings a song from his childhood and the anxious locomotive falls fast asleep. Before long, he is singing to all of the engines; shortly thereafter, mothers begin to bring their restless babies to be lulled by his song. On a particularly windy and noisy night, Niccolini cannot be heard over the din of crying infants, "temper-troubled children," and "disconcerted dogs." He turns to the engines, which softly blow their whistles, playing his tune. Finally, the little ones fall asleep, their parents take them home, and the trains and Niccolini whisper good night to one another. The rhythmic pace of the text, short sentences, and alliterative phrases make this creative bedtime story ideal for reading aloud. Buehner's soft paintings are imbued with dusky, nighttime hues. Careful observers will notice subtle cloud formations in the sky, such as romping animals and slumbering babies. A unique take on a popular topic, this book will have particular appeal to readers who love trains.–Shawn Brommer, South Central Library System, Madison, WI

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
Niccolini's Song fell into the hands of my three year old son and we've been reading it ever since. The illustrations are lush, and the story is enchanting. Descriptions such as "...stroking the damp hair of their sleeping children..." make the story one I can relate to, and the fact that the big trains need lullabies is comforting to my son. If you have a train lover on your shopping list, you can't go wrong with this book. |
