Railroads aren't for Rhinos is a great educational tool for children. They get to learn while also exploring the wonderful world of Ricky and Sally, the Rhinos, who are on a journey from the zoo and discover all different types of trains on their way. It's a fun ride for kids, funny with some cute, colorful, characters every child will want to get to know better; as they read and laugh along with their new favorite story book friends.
