Anna has been assigned to write a poem for her class, but she doesn’t really know what a poem is, let alone how to write one. As she and her brother Sam fall asleep in their sleeping bags (they’re camping out in their back yard), they embark upon a wonderful adventure aboard the Train of Thought, where (in addition to the Conductor) they meet an array of fanciful characters like the Balladeer, the Heroic Couplet twins, the Master of Metaphor, the Mix-Master of Metaphor, the Doggerel Dog, Peter Patterfeet (who’s in charge of rhythm and meter), and ultimately the King and Queen of Poetry. When Sam and Anna return from their journey, Anna not only knows what a poem is, but is able to write one herself.
