Children's Book Rough Draft

Title: The Choo Choo Boy

Pg 1: It was early morning when Logan woke up to the sound of a train driving past his home.
Pg2: "Choo choo!" he yelled and jumped to his mommy. "Mommy choo choo!" Mommy slowly waked up and asked, "Choo choo my dear?"
Pg 3: "Can we go watch choo choo?" Logan cheered. "Come little one there's no time to waste," Mommy said.
Pg 4: Logan couldn't believe his little eyes a giant train ran on forever across the field. "Choo choo!" Logan yelled and bounced around.
Pg 5: Mommy watched as Logan played in the field bouncing and pouncing about as they watched the train.
Pg 6: "Mommy will we ever be able to ride a train someday?" Logan asked. "Yes my love," Mommy said "in fact we can go on a train tomorrow."
Pg 7: Logan's eyes sparkled with joy and he started to run around saying Choo Choo! Choo Choo
Pg 8: That night Logan went to bed and dreamed about their train ride.
Pg 9: Choo! Choo!                                                          (illustration here that explains the Choo Choo)
Pg 10: The early morning sun shined down on the puppy and Mommy. Today was the day of the train ride.
Mommy got up and tried to wake Logan. "Wake up my love it's almost time to go" she said gently. Logan stretched and started to bounce and pounce. "Choo choo! Choo choo!" he yelled.
Pg 11: At the train station Mommy bought tickets and they were ready to go. "Okay my Choo Choo Boy look for platform 9 3/4 train 1." Logan searched and spot the train. "Mommy choo choo" he yelped happily.
Pg 12: Mommy saw the train and led Logan to it. Once on they sat down and Logan gave Mommy a huge hug. "Thank you Mommy" he said into her silky fur. "Your welcome my Choo Choo Boy." she said lovingly. "ALL ABOARD THE TRAIN IS LEAVING THE STATION!" the conductor yelled.
Pg 13: Logan looked out the window and saw the beautiful town speed past. Excitement sparkled in the pups eyes and Mommy kissed his cheek. Then the waiters came skating in with cookies and cocoa for all the animals.
Pg 14: *illustration*
Pg 15: Logan and Mommy had tons of fun and made memories through the entire trip. They saw mountains. They played games. They ate treats and drank cocoa. They laughed. They even took a nap.
Pg 16 (last page): At the end of the ride Mommy took Logan to the Gift Shop and bought him a train track. They set it up at home and they sat right in the middle watching the train run in circles. "I love you Mommy" Logan said lovingly. "I love you my Choo Choo Boy".

Author's Note: Inspiration by my Mum and baby brother Logan. He LOVES trains and says "choo choo" when playing with his toy trains, on train rides, etc.
