Delmar the Dinky by Pat Danna, Pat Danna
4.0

4 Stars

Delmar the Dinky is a cute story of a Dinky (a sort-of tram that runs on rail lines). Luckily, the book has the picture of a real Dinky on the first page, and that helped a lot.

Delmar wants to take the passengers to the World Fair (in 1904) but is stuck behind the longer trains. However, being small has its advantages. Delmar switches tracks and takes people to their destination. Delmar is happy to be successful when the bigger trams fail, and so are we. He’s a sweet little thing, after all. 

The illustrations are lovely and bright. The colors create a happy scene for kids, and you can expect them to ask for a Dinky ride or a train ride after reading the book.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and BooksGoSocial and am voluntarily leaving a review.
