«The Steam Train» is a children's verse book by Ian Whybrow and Rosalind Hudson, published by HarperCollins UK in paperback (16 pages, in English).
The text, in English and in rhyme, follows a steam locomotive that moves across the countryside puffing and singing, with sounds like «huffing and puffing» and «tickety-tack» as it crosses the tracks. The illustrations show children running, sheep, a horse and birds in a rural landscape, and the whole works as a narrative poem intended for reading aloud.
It belongs to the Collins Big Cat collection, band 04/Blue, within the Big Cat Poetry line. It was published in 2010 and is associated with the British Key Stage 1 curriculum for guided reading.
Recommended for children aged 5 to 6 who are beginning to read in English, useful for guided reading in primary school.
