I Can Make a Train Noise

Michael Emberley, Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick, illustrated by Michael Emberley, Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick

A girl and her family enter a café, where the girl makes a brief declaration and transforms the setting in her imagination. The coffee shop becomes a moving train, complete with the sounds and excitement of a train ride. Her words mimic the rhythm and horn of the train as the imagined journey takes shape. The story turns an ordinary family outing into a transportation adventure powered by language and play.
