ALL ABOARD FOR GEOGRAPHY FUN!

"Busy Train" is an interactive storybook with mini-games for kids ages 4 to 8.

The folksy Engineer will take you on a fact-filled train trip across America, where you can learn about our state capitals, state flags, landmarks and even pick up a little trivia along the way.

GET TO KNOW AMERICA
At each stop you’ll see the state flag, nickname, capital, notable cities, landmarks, monuments, and major crops and industries.

LANDMARKS
Visit some of our country’s most scenic national parks and monuments, such as Yosemite National Park, the Statue of Liberty, Kennedy Space Center, and more.

MINI-GAMES
