Tootle - Book

Tootle was written by Gertrude Crampton and illustrated by Tibor Gergely in 1945 as part of the Little Golden Books series. As of 2001 it was the third best-selling hardcover children's book of all time in English in the USA.

Tootle is a young train in training who would rather leave the rails to play in the meadow, until engineer Bill figures out a clever way to bring him back on track. It is a cheerful lesson about staying on the rails, and Gergely's lively pictures have made it a favorite with train-loving kids for generations. Classic hardcover Little Golden Book format.
