“Timmy and Tammy was a perfect fit for us! It is about a sibling set that love to read about trains and play with trains. One day their mother and father decide that it is time for them to ride a real train and so off they go on their own train ride adventure. The illustrations by Health McPherson make me think of I Dream of Jeannie. They are fun, whimsical, cartoonish, 1950's-ish and did I say fun? (Oh, I see that I did!) Great book and we've reread it multiple times.” – Reading to Know

“Here’s an item from my list of 'Things I Can’t Wait to Get My Hands On': Timmy and Tammy’s Train of Thought...it was Heath McPherson’s beautiful illustrations that sold me. Have a look at a few more, but be warned: you’ll be hooked as well.” - Drawn!
“In the book, we follow the story of two siblings, Timmy and Tammy. They both love trains, playing with them in the living room, and watching them on the television. One day their parents have the bright idea to take them on a trip on a train. Their trip, really a trip to the train museum, carries them across all sorts of landscapes and cityscapes in all kinds of different trains. They ride in little mini trains, coal powered freight trains, street cars, subways, high-speed passenger trains, and so on. Thomas the Train Engine, has definitely sparked a renaissance in the world of trains. If your children love to watch it, or are otherwise interested in trains they'll definitely get a kick out of this book. They get to see all sorts of trains, and it will spark their imaginations as they become the engineer guiding the train through all sorts of different landscapes. If you ever find yourself traveling by train (and while it’s expensive), I definitely recommend getting this book to show all the different things trains see and do.” - Super Cool Baby
