Here comes the train again! Every time the train rolls through a town, people stop to watch all the cars - the big engine, the box cars, the oil cars and the flat cars. But by the time the caboose rolls past, the crowd has lost interest. The little red caboose wishes that he was one of the other cars or even the big engine so he wouldn't have to be last. But when the train gets in trouble going up a steep mountain, the Little Red Caboose proves he has an important job to do. Marian Potter's story has a timeless lesson and once again Tibor Gergely creates double-page spreads of excitement, illustrating different landscapes for the caboose's travels.
