Review by School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1-Huff and Puff are challenged to race a shiny new train in town. The newcomer is predictably arrogant, while Huff and Puff just try their best and end up winning. "The new train said, 'I am the best. I'm way ahead. I'll stop to rest.'" The repetition, simple text, and one large-print sentence per page will build the confidence of the very earliest readers, while the bright illustrations entertain.-Jasmine L.

Review by Horn Book Review
Adorable train cars Huff (engine) and Puff (caboose) star in these early readers perfect for train-loving kids. In the undemanding stories, Huff and Puff try switching roles and race a new train. Short rhyming text with catchy repetitive phrases ("Click-ity, click-ity clack"; "Chug-a, chug-a, chug-a, chug-a, choo-choo-choo!") make for read-aloud gold, while candy-colored illustrations are packed with smiling faces.
