All Aboard the Toyland Express Nov. 26

November 17, 2011 11:00 pm • Last Updated: November 18, 2011 10:09 am

Essex Steam Train & Riverboat invites the community to join with it to celebrate release of the newest Can You See What I See? book, called Toyland Express.

It is the latest book from award-winning author, photographer and part-time Essex resident Walter Wick.

On Saturday, Nov. 26, from 1:30 to 4:40 p.m., drop by River Valley Junction to meet Wick. Signed copies of the book will be available.

Inspired by long lost toys of his childhood, Wick takes young readers on a special journey in Toyland Express. This search-and-find picture book begins in a toy maker's workshop where the train is first created, then follows its toy-filled journey through many playful changes and eventually into the attic.

For the full story, see the Nov. 23 issue of the Valley Courier and go to Zip06.com.
