Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Trains, cranes, good friends--with warmth and whimsy, Daisy Hirst follows an adventurous bear and a home-loving goose who discover that new experiences are even better shared.
Hamish the bear and Noreen the goose live in the country, where they like to watch the trains whoosh by. While Noreen is happy to stay in the country, Hamish can't help but wonder what it would be like to ride the train into the city. So one day he says goodbye to Noreen and sets off along the tracks. Hamish's ride on the train takes him to new places, where he meets new friends and even gets a job on a construction site. Before long, though, Hamish realizes how much he misses his home and Noreen. From Daisy Hirst, the award-winning author-illustrator of The Girl with a Parrot on Her Head , here is a warm and friendly story about finding adventure and then finding your way home again.
Hamish the bear and Noreen the goose lead a very good life in the country, but when Hamish journeys to the city to explore new places, make new friends and get a job on a building site, he realizes how much he misses his home and his good friend, Noreen.
