Interesting. I can't say I would think riding the subway is something awe-inspiring. However, to a child that has never experienced it before, I suppose it could be. Sounds like a pretty neat children's book. Thanks.

Excellent review. I can tell it's clearly a great children's book by your observation that it creates the "vibe" of the subway, the people, music etc. And, of course, great illustrations!

Thanks for another well-written, insightful review. The premise of the book sounds very relatable as children usually will be on a bus or train at some point. This way they will be able to approach the ride with excitement rather than fear.

What a wonderful phrase...

I was actually going to mention a sequel or a bit of a series with Landon and his teddy backpack :)

I know! I don't have an underground system in my country, so whenever I travel, riding the subway is definitely a novelty :)

I think anything semi-out-of-the-ordinary is exciting for kids. The author just has to get it right :)

Exactly! Kids tend to fear things before they love them, so hopefully this would help :)
