Last month, NPR revealed a new book list called Book Your Trip. It is a list made up of adult and children’s books that feature different modes of transportation. Some books focus on boats, some on horses, and some on miscellaneous methods such as a giant peach and time. NPR’s list does not include books where the train (or car or horse) is not used for transport. For example, NPR ruled out Misty of Chincoteague because it is, “about horses, but not horses as a mode of transit.”
