A technical story book for inquisitive minds - Grandpa tries to answer a tricky question. Where does the little steam train get its energy from? A simple lump of coal from the time of dinosaurs!!! This wonderful story describes the physics of energy conversion in a way children can understand. Visually exciting and it even covers photosynthesis. Watercolours by John Wardle. Age 6-12.
Peter's Railway books are among the very finest, possibly the finest, railway books for children (6-67) I've ever seen. It's a pleasure to commend your books, and it's a pleasure to have them in my library.
