Publishers Weekly
Similarly, a pair of vintage Lois Lenski titles are adapted for board book format. The first, The Little Fire Engine (1946) stars Fireman Small as he heads off to a Tinytown blaze and rescues a girl and her cat on an upper floor. In The Little Train (1940), Engineer Small drives his locomotive past farmland, over a bridge and through a tunnel, before unloading passengers and U.S. mail at Union Station.
