Summary

Children can enjoy their favourite story, time and time again, with this brilliant picture book with audio. The Little Red Train is now available in a wide range of exciting formats with an app and ebooks, as well as the traditional picture book.

Chuff-chuff, chuffity chuff, whoo. . . oo. . oo! The Little Red Train has set off down the track without sleepy-head Duffy Driver! Poor Duffy tries everything to catch up - he hitches a lift on a lorry, clambers aboard a motor boat, grabs the chance to ride a tractor and finally makes a heroic leap from a speeding helicopter! At last Duffy is safely back in the driver's cab, just in time for the Little Red Train to pull into the station at Sandy-on-Sea for a lovely, LAZY afternoon. PHEW!
