Come aboard the Alaska Train for a rollicking rhyming adventure
with Alaska's favorite animals
Five shiny train cars roll down the railroad track, picking up passengers along the way--a porcupine, grizzly bear, caribou, and more. Soon the cars are packed, but now the train
must go up a tall mountain. Will the Alaska Train reach its destination?
All Aboard the Alaska
Train takes you on a rumbling journey as you zoom across the tracks
and meet some of the state's most famous animal residents. Included at the back
is a glossary of the parts of a train, plus more information about the famous
Alaska Train and a map of its route.
