Little boys and trains seem to go hand-in-hand. And I have five of them (boys, not trains). Well, really only three little ones now, and two big ones. Over the past 14 years we have had quite the collection of train gear – from toys and train tracks, to pretend play clothes and books.

Hi! What an awesome giveaway! You are so generous!! My two year old son has a build-your-own train set that he plays with all the time. He would love the”See Inside Trains” book and definitely all the sticker ones! Once my newborn is older and not sleeping all day, he would get to enjoy them too!
This would be such an amazing opportunity for my family! My Father-in-law passed but when my husband was a kid that was their number one way to connect and now that our family is getting bigger it would be amazing to keep the TRAIN tradition going!
My 5 year old son would love the Look Inside Trains (and them all really!).
I would love to win any of the train sticker books from my two little boys! They love to pull of the stickers and stick them on!
My boys would love the Build Your Own Train Sticker Book

We would enjoy the Build a Picture Trains Sticker Book! We love stickers!
My boys LOVE books, but my youngest LOVES trains! And he really likes Curious George, so I think “Curious George takes a Train” would be the one I’d be most excited about. My youngest likes for me to read to him, but he has a VERY short attention span, so this one might actually hold his attention for longer than a page or two! LOL Here’s hoping I win for my boys!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I am excited about all of them. My young nephew loves trains. His room is filled with them.
Steam, Smoke, and Steel would be my son’s favorite!
My students would love these books!
SEE INSIDE TRAINS is the one I am really excited about. My husband does model trains and the grandkids love checking out what he has done on his train layout and going do by the tracks 4 blocks away and watching the trains go by.
My son would loooooovvvee these books.
Big Book of Big Trains! My little guy loves to watch trains go by.
How exciting! Id love to share “the little engine that could” with my 4 year old. I loved that one growing up, and our family has dealt with some difficult health issues in our new addition this past year. My sweet 4 year old took it so hard, but has been such a trooper.
We are excited about See Inside Train book!
My son has special needs and we use lots of sticker books in home schooling him. We would love the Train Sticker book!
I am most excited about the Big book of Big Trains and Look inside Trains books.
My son loves trains! We couldn’t pick just one favorite, but if we had to the Usborne Windup Train book would be incredible!
My six year old has loved trains for years but is now getting interested in how they work- so see inside trains would probably be his favorite! What a cool giveaway!
My boys love trains and they love stickers so really any of the STICKER books. 🙂
I love all of the books! My son, who is autistic, has a love for trains!
We love the Usborne Look Inside books; I think that’s the one I’m most excited about. This post/giveaway made me realize we have so many books about cars and trucks, but not really trains. My kids would love this stack of books!
All the books sound great, but the one that caught my attention was tge one with Curious George. My 4-year-old grandson loves trains AND Curious George!
I recently went to a Usborne book party and was unfortunately unable to purchase books as our budget really didn’t allow for it. Yet, I loved all the quality books Usborne has put out there. I have 2 boys and a girl and ALL of them love trains. We would love to be a recipient of any of these books but if I had to name a few it would be See Inside Trains by Emily Bone and Trains by Gail Gibbons.
I would love them all! Who wouldn’t love a bunch of books about trains!
My kids love the Usborne sticker books. My two year old is crazy over trains right now so I think the Usborne First Sticker Book Trains would be the favorite 🙂
Thanks so much for hosting this!
My favorite book is actually all of them because they are Usborne! But if I had to choose one it would be the Big Book of Big Trains. My class of 3 & 4 year olds would love to see these books.
My boys love trains! And I love Usborne books! This would put us in train heaven (and maybe keep the littles entertained while we do kindergarten at home).
The Build a Train Sticker book. Best wishes, everyone. Thanks!
Build a Picture Trains Sticker Book, although they all sound wonderful, super excited! about this one.
@tisonlyme143
My toddler is starting to understand stickers so the first sticker book would be his favorite.
I most excited about the Usborne big book of trains.

I think build your train sticker book would be a cute one. Thank you for sharing.
My boys would love the sticker book!!
Big book of trains but any really!
I don’t know if I have a favorite book, but the Goodnight Train book looks like it would be perfect to add to our bedtime reading rotation!
My son would love the Wind Up Train book!
Look inside books are always a winner here so that would be the most exciting part of the prize.
My littlest guy LOVES trains! He plays for hours with Thomas and was so excited to get a Thomas shirt recently for his birthday. What an awesome book collection!
Both my sons LOVE trains! I think they’d mostly enjoy the sticker books!!
Two Little Trains because Margaret Wise Brown is a great author!
My granddaughters would like The Little Engine That Could.
I think my son would most enjoy the Lift and Look Trains.
Honestly, I am excited about all of them! They all look amazing and I know my little guy will LOVE them all.
I have a train boy who also loves sticker books. Either of the train sticker books who be his favorite. 🙂 Looks like a lot of really great books in this giveaway!
I’m most excited about The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper, but I’d be excited about any of them. My 8 mo. old grandson is finally enjoying being read to, esp. by his older brother, who is 5.5 yrs. old and an excellent reader. I keep them 4 days/wk. (the older one only after school) and it’s so sweet to watch them together–last Fri. the older one read 12 books to the baby in just about 30 minutes. The older one really likes trains and I’m sure the baby will too.
My son loves trains. This is a great giveaway! I am so excited to see the see inside trains book.
The Wind Up Train Book looks like tons of fun! They’d all be great 🙂
My 7 yr old loves trains so much that he has his 3 yr old sister loving them with him. 🙂 All of the books look awesome, but I think his favorite would be the Big Book of Trains that way he see more and learns more. These books will be a great addition to the library if we are the lucky winners. Good luck to all.
