Read A Story:

To set the mood at the beginning of the party, or to calm the kids down at the end, you can always sit everyone down and read them a story. Here's a list of suggested train stories that your guests are sure to enjoy:

• Freight Train by Donald Crews


• In Coal Country by Judith Hendershot


• The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper


• Ol' Paul: The Mighty Logger by Glen Rounds


• Trains (Eye Openers Series) by Angela Royston

If you don't have time for a full story, consider reading your guests Diane Siebert's "The Train Song."

Train Song

Out in back railroad track,
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack,
Great trains, freight trains,
Grain trains, Maine trains,
Going-through-the-rain-trains,
Long trains, strong trains…
"All Aboard!" say good-bye,
Hear the railroad lullaby

- by Diane Siebert
