I was not the biggest fan of this book. The idea behind it was good, however I think it could have been executed better. There was a lack of detail throughout the whole book. The illustrations however were very detailed. ( )

This book begins with a group of students going on a train for a field trip with there teacher. The trip is suppose to be to visit dinosaur national mountain but it turns into a fantasy when the trains start traveling west and the weather is changing and we realize they are time traveling. To a place were the students would stay a few days at a camp and see real life dinosaurs. This experience is to help the students on a project and it shows how student can have a great imagination.

A boy and his class, along with his teacher were going on a field trip to learn about dinosaurs. The class and the teacher get on the train and reach Philadelphia and they never seen anything like that before. They traveled through weather changes. Once they got off at their stop, and couldn't find they place where they were staying. They first glanced at dinosaurs. Some students decided to start investigating the dinosaurs. While others played. But every student saw and studied a dinosaur. Then the students and teacher got back on the train and headed back home. The students' demeanor at first when they were on the train were unsure of how the trip was going to play out. But the students' demeanor changed rapidly after they encountered the dinosaurs. Books show that we can make the best out of a bad situation. ( )

When a class boards a train, they find themselves in prehistoric time where dinosaurs roam the earth. They have quite an adventure, performing many different actives with many different species during the prehistoric times. Read along as you follow the class and all their wonderful adventures they take. ( )

Time Train is a book about Miss Pym and her class field trip into prehistoric times. Miss Pym and her students board the Rocky Mountain Limited, and when they get off they see many dinosaurs. Miss Pym is terrified by her new experience, but her students have fun. For breakfast they eat scrambled dinosaur eggs, and they study the stegosaurus. After a few days they go home. I enjoyed the book because while I read it, the book took me back to the dinosaur age. Now I am interested in going to a museum and seeing skeletons of dinosaurs. The book mixes historical facts, reality, and fantasy. As an activity for students I would like to take them to a museum so that they could see skeletons of dinosaurs, and if that is not possible I would construct a timeline of the events of the story with the students.
