    William and the Night Train

    I wanted to share this with all here.

    This morning just before my 8yr old daughter was to go, she excitedly called me over to see a book she had checked out from the school library entitled: "William and the Night Train".

    She said to me "Dad, there's a Scotsman wearing a kilt in it!"

    I took a look and sure enough there were three illustrations of said kilted Scotsman:







    Basically the story revolves around the train full of unique characters, who are all sleepy, and a boy named William who is very excited and can't sleep, and the train cannot leave until he goes to sleep.

    The book is written by Mij Kelly (from York, England) and illustrated by Alison Jay (of London, England).
