Publisher's Synopsis
Designed to the 8-1/2" square format, My Little Square Book of Cabooses is simple to read and factually educational in its content. This full-color, 32-page, children's book presents a fascinating look at the caboose in the nonfiction genre. Entertaining and informative, children learn how to identify the parts of a caboose; the definition of a caboose; the different types and functions of cabooses; the roles cabooses played as part of the freight train; why cabooses are no longer used by railroads; and a glossary of caboose and railroading terms. Children who love trains will love this little book not only because of the knowledge it imparts to them, but because they can take pride in disseminating the knowledge gained to their friends, schoolmates, and even to older acquaintances who know little about the history of cabooses. This book about cabooses is the sixth and final volume in a complete set of My Little Square Book titles listed below. By collecting the entire set, children will possess a mini-library that's all about trains. Volume 1: Steam Locomotives Volume 2: Steam Locomotive Tender Cars Volume 3: Railroad Box Cars Volume 4: Railroad Coal Cars Volume 5: Railroad Tank Cars Volume 6: Cabooses
