Industry Reviews "The subject is a marvelous showcase for Frazee's expressive watercolors: the widely variable responses of the riders supply sustained theater as the train hurtles through space, with degrees of ecstasy (or agony) triggered by each twist and turn." Publishers Weekly (04/21/2003)
"Capturing both the train's breathtaking speed and a hilarious range of rider reactions with consummate skill, the artist who made Linda Smith's MRS. BIDDLEBOX (2002) and Susan Meyers's EVERYWHERE BABIES (2001) such delights is once again in top form." Kirkus Reviews (05/01/2003)
"But the real prize here are the pictures of the girl's progression from reluctance to surprise to growing delight, and finally to full-blown ecstasy....a sweet and cheerful book." New York Times Book Review - Jeanne B. Pinder (08/10/2003)
