"My 2-year old son loves the pictures, but won't sit still for the story yet. There is too much text on each page for him to sit through. The story is kind of inane and taxes my patience to even read it to him, also."
"One of my favorites to share with my son--and one he and I both enjoyed when I had read it so many times that I could ad lib it on long drives--even when the book wasn't with us. :D"
"As a non-comformist, I was mortified the first time I read this book as an adult (10 years ago). I immediately looked at the original year it was published-- 1945. Smack in the McCarthy Era. No wonder! Red flags? Stay on the rails? Ironically, I now have two preschoolers who love this book. I keep it around so we can eventually have a discussion about its messages. How does one start a discussion with small children about McCarthyism vs. anarchy? I give this book three stars because on one hand, I want to give it 0 for squashing the non-conformist hero, and on the other hand, I want to give it 5 for great illustrations (a train frolicking in a field of wildflowers!), having a pink cover, and debate-worthy historical/ philosophical elements. . .
Oh, and one more thing, Tootle's last words seem to support communism more than warn against it: "Work hard. Always remember to Stop for a Red Flag Waving. But most of all, Stay on the Rails No Matter What.""
