In a cozy room, as the evening sky grows dark, a child plays with his trains and planes and trucks one last time before bed. In the outside world, big engines are also winding down for the night, their long day of work complete. Lyrical verse and vivid pictures of vechicles large and small make for a soothing and satisfying bedtime story perfect for young engine lovers everywhere.
