Reviews


"The details in the drawings are incredible and tell a rich story in themselves... The book is geared for audiences aged four to eight, so the words are few and the pictures are grandiose. It's sure to be a favorite for young readers and parents and grandparents alike, and if I've learned anything about favorite picture books, it will be requested so much even the kids will have it memorized almost word for word in no time... Timmy & Tammy's Train of Thought is a new favorite for me. In fact, I have several little boys and girls for whom I'm planning on purchasing a copy and I'm very picky when it comes to buying books for young readers. I can't think of a higher compliment to pay to Oliver and Heath."

"The illustrations are one of the strengths of this book, as they are colourful, with quite a lot of detail and depict extremely expressive happy children throughout... Timmy & Tammy's Train of Thought is a fun and entertaining story that could make a welcome Christmas present for the young enthusiast, as wells as attracting pre-schoolers who have a passing interest in trains."
- Australian Model Railway magazine

"the future of our great hobby may be hidden in the pages of books like this...The book is extremely well illustrated, with interesting and detailed scenes that will capture the attention of both child and parent alike...This is the type of children's book that any parent or grandparent will be happy to share with a youngster. The future of our hobby is with the young; children's books like this will only help the cause. It clearly shows the romance of rails everywhere."

"In the book, we follow the story of two siblings, Timmy and Tammy. They both love trains, playing with them in the living room, and watching them on the television. One day their parents have the bright idea to take them on a trip on a train. Their trip, really a trip to the train museum, carries them across all sorts of landscapes and cityscapes in all kinds of different trains. They ride in little mini trains, coal powered freight trains, street cars, subways, high-speed passenger trains, and so on. Thomas the Train Engine, has definitely sparked a renaissance in the world of trains. If your children love to watch it, or are otherwise interested in trains they'll definitely get a kick out of this book. They get to see all sorts of trains, and it will spark their imaginations as they become the engineer guiding the train through all sorts of different landscapes. If you ever find yourself traveling by train (and while it's expensive), I definitely recommend getting this book to show all the different things trains see and do."

"If you have a son who's hooked on Thomas [the Tank Engine] and have enough toys to fill up the Island of Sodor, here's a fun book to pique his interest in something else...It's a perfect story for bedtime that you won't mind reading over and over and over again."

"Timmy and Tammy was a perfect fit for us! It is about a sibling set that love to read about trains and play with trains. One day their mother and father decide that it is time for them to ride a real train and so off they go on their own train ride adventure. The illustrations by Health McPherson make me think of I Dream of Jeannie. They are fun, whimsical, cartoonish, 1950's-ish and did I say fun? (Oh, I see that I did!) Great book and we've reread it multiple times."
