Trains Book

The book Trains by Anne Rockwell is a very short and easy read for younger children. This is an informational text for children and talks about types of trains and how they work. This book is an easy read with short text and large pictures that take up the entire page. The illustrations are very blue and a little dull because the author wants the reader to focus on the simplicity of the sentences.
The illustrations cover the entire page and the illustrator uses water colors and bright colors to capture the young readers attention. The illustrator uses thin lines and vertical lines which indicates stability and height of the trains. There are also a lot of diagonal lines which means motion and movement of the trains and people running to get the trains.This book is used to inform children of different types of trains and learn something that they can use in the everyday world. The text went along with the illustrations extremely well which is good for young readers to understand. This was a fun read because it was information, and had a clearly defined setting.
