About the book

The story of The Magic Chocolate Train Visits the Jungle

On the rug between their beds sits a little train made of chocolate, glowing softly in the dark. It can talk. It can fly. It can shrink until it fits in the palm of your hand. And it knows the way to a Magic Jungle.

What follows is a night of tigers and elephants, golden Twinkle Dust, chocolate milkshakes served mid-flight, and two frightened baby monkeys who need rescuing from a hidden hole in the jungle floor.

A warm bedtime adventure about two brothers, one very magical train, and a jungle where absolutely anything can happen. With a full-page illustration on every second page, perfect for reading aloud together.
