N&W Steam Engine 611 Children's Book - "Hey Grandpa, tell us about Six Eleven" - For ages one and up

Award winning railroad author and retired teacher reaches out to youngesters.









This is the perfect book to be read to children or for older children to read about the famous steam engine of the old Norfolk & Western railroad, engine number Six Eleven. It makes for good reading to toddlers and when a child starts reading,  it will continue to be appropriate for several years. Teens and adults love the book as well.

The pages of this book are made of  24 point, glossy, heavy card stock, perfect for little fingers. The book measures 8-1/2" by 5-1/2" and is about 1/2" thick. On thirty two pages, over fifty actual photographs (almost all in color)  are used instead of unrealistic artist's illustrations and it is made to lay flat when opened. Follow a girl and boy as Grandpa tells them about the engine that refuses to quit. 

Below are details of three pages.
