Terrific Trains is a great picture book, depicting and explaining how trains work and the different kinds of trains there are. I loved all of the great colors and the little animals driving and riding on the trains in the illustrations. An educator could absolutely utilize this picture book for a

math section for addition and subtraction using the railroad cars.

If lagomorphs and mustelids did run the railways, it would be pretty terrific. Unlike the authors, though, I'd try to make sure that the rabbits and the stoats worked different shifts.
