Tootle

By Gertrude Crampton
 Illustrated by Tibor Gergely

Seriously, what is this crap.

This is the story of a poorly drawn engine that had to get 100 A+ in staying on the rails no matter what.

What does that even MEAN?  And they keep REPEATING it.  And he just wants to play in the flowers, but he's an engine, and he has to work and never play, so they trick him into always working, and then he's happy.  Arbeit Macht Frei, right?  Maybe I'm reading too much into this.

My daughter was so confused when I read her this and had no idea what was going on... but... TRAINS!  She loves trains.

This book is going to disappear.
