Locomotive Book

Rhymes by Julian Tuwim • Drawings by Lewitt and Him

A whistle blows, wheels turn—and we’re off on a whimsical, steam-powered journey through a golden age of illustration. Locomotive is a joyful riot of rhythm, rhyme and retro charm, first published in 1938 and still fizzing with energy today. Written by Polish poet Julian Tuwim and brought vividly to life by design legends Lewitt and Him, this 20th-century children’s classic is as much a feast for design lovers as it is for curious kids.

Perfect for reading aloud, poring over the playful illustrations, or simply enjoying the ride, this is a must-have for vintage picture book collectors and little trainspotters alike. All aboard!
