Now you can enjoy this thrilling Little Red Train adventure again and again with this new picture book and CD set, read by Richard Briers.

'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.

Praise for The Little Red Train: Great Big Train

A triumphant tale chock full of delightful illustrations.

The Good Book Guide

It is great to come across a book that will be enjoyed by the people it is intended for. . . There is so much charming detail to pore over.

School Librarian

Readers can enjoy the meticulous illustrations of machines at work...there are also several different action rhymes to join in with.

Alison Boyle, Nursery World

This is a lovely gentle story that has a familiar, traditional feel to it. The illustrations are very detailed and wonderfully busy. . . Each time I looked at the book, I found something new in every picture, and this will hold the attention of even young children.

Eastern Daily Press

Worth buying for their stunning, detailed illustrations alone. Chuffing brilliant as ever, as the train might say.

Kathy Ball, BBC Parenting
