My 2 year old son LOVES this book!
The rhyme is very simple, but educational (also education are the front and back inside covers listing more facts about trains).
The train pictures are simple and colorful, but include enough detail to be interesting. My son likes to identify all the things in the background (squirrel on one page, kite on another, sheep and dogs on many pages).
If your preschooler is interested in trains and you want an alternative to reading Thomas 24-7 (nothing against Thomas, but it's just a nice change) - this book is GREAT.

Another element is added to the mix (in this third book in the series) when the main character discovers another tough question she has to answer:
Is making people do something, even the right thing, without their consent, the right thing to do?

In real life, people can do bad things, and even if they're punished, they may not feel guilt or shame.
Imagine if part of the punishment was to make them feel shame for what they had done. Imagine if you could ACCIDENTALLY make people feel ashamed for wrong things they had done. Imagine if you couldn't prevent that from happening. Imagine someone so evil, they did not feel shame at all.
This book was well written and thought provoking. It grows richer if you also read the following book. (Imagine if someone evil enslaved you and FORCED you to torture people with guilt and shame over little things, to control them.)

Imagine if, just by your power of suggestion, you could make people do what you wanted. Would you?
Dina makes a choice who she will be, by deciding what she will do. You might be surprised at her choice.
This book (the last of four) was well written and thought provoking.
