What is The Sleepy Train about?

As evening settles, the Sleepy Train puffs away on a gentle night-time journey. Bear climbs aboard, followed by a shivering penguin, a playful monkey and a rather squashed hippo. Together they travel through a rustling jungle, past moonlit mountains and beneath a sky full of twinkling stars. Even the darkest tunnel cannot keep them awake for long. With the train’s cosy rhythm carrying them towards the Land of Nod, one by one, the animal passengers drift into peaceful sleep.
