Publisher's Synopsis

A little girl and her mother board the train in town and set off on a journey through the countryside. As they travel, the girl looks out of the train window, asking "What shall I see? What shall I see?". Then, when she's named what she sees, she says, "That's what I see, that's what I see." This double refrain continues throughout the book, as she sees sheep and cows, a mare and her foal, a shiny red tractor, a ticket collector, her own face in the glass, a gaggle of geese, and a giant balloon. Meanwhile, the train climbs a hill, passes a farm, goes through a tunnel until, eventually, it slows down and comes into a seaside town with a market square and a lighthouse, arriving finally at the station. And who is there waiting? Grandma!;June Crebbin is the author of "Fly by Night", "Carrie Climbs a Mountain", "Danny's Duck" and two volumes of verse, "The Jungle Sale" and "The Dinosaur's Dinner".;Stephen Lambert illustrated "The Snow Maiden" and "The Magpie and the Star", as well as "Fly by Night" and "What is the Sun?".
