Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Ten Little Trains
Amanda Sobotka · 2024
70/100
👍 Worth It
The built-in chunky tactile buttons make this more than a passive read-aloud — toddlers can press and count along, which is genuinely useful for the 1-3 age group. The series has proven itself with over half a million copies sold, and this installment follows the same reliable formula. It is not groundbreaking, but it does exactly what a toddler counting book needs to do.
