Very few children's books venture beyond an image. Weitzman's presentation in "Locomotive: Building an Eight-Wheeler" goes beyond the typical superficial children's train book. Weitzman shows how a train is put together using machines just as grand as the engine. Several manufacturing processes are illustrated in a simplistic manner, which can be understood by a child. The line drawings are magnificent with exquisite detail. The text accompanying the drawings is clear and concise presented at the level of the intended reader. This is the type of book that creates interest in a child.
