C1: Little Loco’s Big Day - Caroline Hardie

Richmond Library, DL10 4AE | 10.30am | Free children’s event but please reserve a place at Richmond Library

Little Loco’s Big Day is the uplifting tale of the first locomotive, now known as Locomotion No.1, which ran on the Stockton & Darlington Railway. Steam powered with a mighty hoot, the nervous Little Loco has to pull Wonky Waggons along the railway on the opening day in 1825. Trouble brews when the Wonky Waggons grumble because they want to be pulled by horses, not locomotives. Herald the Horse is worried that he will lose his job if Little Loco is too useful. Can Little Loco find good friends to help her?
