(BookSurge Publishing, Aug. 15, 2008)
Choo-Choo Woody is a handsome little wooden steam engine, painted shiny red and black. He’s all alone in the world, so he sets out in search of others like him and a place to call home. Over the course of his adventures, he meets Bruce the Caboose, Nola the Gondola Car, Gavinport the Switcher Engine, and Big Gem Diesel, all of whom have their own special strengths. At first, Woody doesn’t think he will ever be as important as his new friends, since he’s so small. Yet when a crisis occurs, he discovers that only his unique gifts can save the day! Eventually, Woody finds a happy home in the most unexpected place. Little readers and their parents will delight in Choo-Choo Woody’s delightful rhyming tale. Most importantly, they’ll treasure the heartwarming lesson that “what was possible, could not be measured by the pound or by the ounce. It’s not what is outside, but what is on the inside that counts.”
