What is Hamish Takes the Train about?

Hamish the bear and Noreen the goose are happy in their country home, spending their days watching trains rush past. But Hamish longs to discover where the tracks lead, so he boards a train to the city alone. There he explores busy streets, makes new friends and even finds work on a building site. Although his adventure is exciting, Hamish soon begins to miss Noreen and the quiet life they share. Will he find his way home?
