Go on a train (Topsy and Tim) (Long Story)
Description:
In Topsy and Tim Go on a Train, the twins are going to visit their Granny, and Mummy decides to take them on the train. Topsy and Tim get to see the bustle of the train station, and then they learn about using trolleys, showing tickets, and going through tunnels! A trusted and well-loved pair who can help guide parents and children through ‘first experiences’, Topsy and Tim books have been beautifully updated with contemporary artwork. Topsy & Tim remain instantly recognisable to parents while in a fresh style that will appeal to a new generation of fans.
