內容簡介
內容簡介 凱迪克金獎、紐約時報暢銷書 一條橫跨大陸的新軌道終於鋪建完成了!它是由一群來自四面八方的工人,鏗隆鏗隆揮著鋤頭、一顆一顆搬開石頭、一點一點鑿石挖開隧道合力完成的。 車站裡,有一家大大小小提著行李、備好票,引頸期盼能載運遠方展開新生活的火車。終於,呼~呼~呼傳來鳴笛聲,蒸氣 火車來啦!它載運乘客,也載維持運作的技師、工程師、制動員,還有管理乘客的車掌先生。 上車囉!一家人魚貫進入車內,開始一場感官的旅行。聽各種聲音:車掌的「開始驗票」、書報員的「號外號外」、火車過山洞的呼嘯聲……看看山、看海,看黑漆漆的山洞。看太陽落下,月亮升起。這時,各種聲響也終於歇息,抬頭望向黑黑的曠野,盡是一閃一閃的星星。 歡迎讀者一起搭乘,聽蒸氣聲、感受引擎熱度、看飛奔的曠野,無邊的大陸。 The Caldecott Medal Winner, Sibert Honor Book, and New York Times bestseller Locomotive is a rich and detailed sensory exploration of America’s early railroads, from the creator of the “stunning” (Booklist) Moonshot. It is the summer of 1869, and trains, crews, and family are traveling together, riding America’s brand-new transcontinental railroad. These pages come alive with the details of the trip and the sounds, speed, and strength of the mighty locomotives; the work that keeps them moving; and the thrill of travel from plains to mountain to ocean. Come hear the hiss of the steam, feel the heat of the engine, watch the landscape race by. Come ride the rails, come cross the young country!
