About the Author
Donna David grew up in the West Midlands in a house full of noisy siblings, fun parents, mad aunties and maggots (her dad is a fisherman). She'd often be found reading by torchlight way after bedtime and this love of reading has never left her. Donna has a degree in English from Loughborough University and currently works as an English coach at the local secondary school. She is married to an RAF pilot and she has worked closely with the charity Little Troopers on a series of picture books written for military children.
Nina Pirhonen is a Finnish illustrator, designer and children's book author, with a bright, bold and distinctive contemporary style. She has created multiple picture books in Finland, including the popular Leo the Lion series, and her work includes fashion and textile design for Marimekko.
Trains Trains Trains is their first book for the Macmillan Children's Books 'Find Your Favourite' series.

The pictures are colourful and bold and the rhyming words are delightful to say aloud -- Marianne Levy * The I *
It's bold, it's bright, it's colourful; there is a catchy, rhyming text that you can practically here chuffing along as you read: what's not to love?! The illustrations are brilliant, with the most adorable little animals driving and riding on the different trains. I also found the reading hints and tips at the back of the book a really useful starting point for further discussion about the book with my children. -- Fiona Eaton * Mini Travellers *
