Young readers will enjoy this classic retelling of an aunt who is traveling by train with rowdy nieces and a nephew. Like all children, their patience is limited and requires tons of entertainment. The aunt starts telling a story, but is unable to satisfy the curiosity of the children. Meanwhile, a man, also traveling on the train, grows impatient, and decides to intervene and tell a different kind of story. 2009 Bologna Ragazzi Award New Horizons
