All aboard!

The Mini-Express takes readers on a fun-filled ride aboard a chunky and colorful die-cut steam engine. With the hiss of steam and clackity-clack of wheels on the track, the rhyming verse tells the story of Engineer Hoot and his crew of hardworking mice. Peter Lippman's energetic illustrations bring the characters and text to life on every page. Die-cut in the shape of a train, The Mini-Express is both a book and a toy; whether being read aloud or moving across the floor in play, it sparks a curious child's imagination.
