Experience the excitement of waiting on a bridge over a railway as the train, first seen as a speck in the distance, comes speeding along the track just below where you are standing. Charlotte Voake's gentle story and complementary illustrations reflect the simple joy of a young boy and his family's weekly trip to watch the trains go by. -- Philippa Reece
