DESCRIPTION:
As the landscape transforms from a bustling city to a richly imaginative world in this distinctively formatted book, the child's sense of wonder and independence flourishes, as does a deep engagement with life and the possibilities that lie ahead—making Line 135 a quietly eloquent gift for anyone embarking on their life's journey.. Journeys can be life-changing, whether they are literal—traveling from one place to another—or personal, like the quest for self-discovery. This meditative picture book explores both, following a young child on a train ride from the city to the country
Children will relate to the narrator as she both yearns to understand the adult world and determines to pave her own path. No redistribution permitted. The first page is blank except for a pair of small figures holding hands and marching along the horizon line; the youngster leads the way, eagerly gesturing forward toward the rest of the story. The narrator's tiny face is visible in the window as the train travels through landscapes both mundane and surreal. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Sour
Exquisite whimsy This is an utterly delightful piece of sui generis whimsy. Poetic in the broadest sense. An enchantment for both children and adults. Albertine's line drawings, as with her 'Sky High' illustrations, are entrancing.. A thorough delight Kate Shade The spare text and intricate line drawings are poetic and engaging. My 3-year-old loves it as much as I do. Combines whimsy and philosophical sophistication in a manner unusual in children's picture books.. Inspirational and beautiful illustrations Great book with European flair. Our son loves trains. We love France.
