== Description ==
''Locomotive'', written by Floca, is a nonfiction book of 64 pages that teaches readers about the history of the first transcontinental and locomotive of U.S in the 19th century. The illustrations by Floca that follow the history, the train, engine, station, countries and people are shown as it was in the 19th century. Through the lines of the book, words are repeated and lines rhyme “here is how this road was built, with grunt and a heave and a swing, with the ring of shovels on stone, the ring of hammers on spikes,” and “Wheels spinning, rods swinging.” Metaphors are used to describe places “The country opens, opens wide, empty as an ocean.” And at the end, the book closes by using assonance “here where you needed to go, here where you need to be……here with the people you’ve waited and wanted and needed to see.”
