The Success Train is a self-help chapter book written to teach seven- to ten-year-old children how to say "Yes" to success. Written in an entertaining style, The Success Train encourages readers to become the Success Train boss. All children can do spectacularly well with this important job because they are soooo smart. The Success Train includes a lot of really secret stuff that make up the hands-on tools necessary to be a Success Train boss. The Success Train also includes an official Success Train Engineer award signed by the mayor of Leadership Village and one of his officials who helped co-author The Friend Factory.

Excerpt:
    How should a book about the Success Train start? I could tell you some stuff about freight trains but a freight train isn't the Success Train. A freight train is good for hauling stuff. You can haul trucks on a freight train. That's interesting but doesn't tell us much about the Success Train. We'll need a better way than that to start this book. 
     What about passenger trains? They are a good way to get to places you want to go. They have nice seats and some passenger trains have a dining car where you can have a snack. That's interesting but doesn't help much with learning about the Success Train. We'll need a better way than that to start this book. 

With that as the opening, book goes on to teach seven- to ten-year-old children how to say "Yes" to their success. The Success Train teaches children a plan they can use to succeed in reaching goals. The Success Train is the third in a series of nonfiction self-help chapter books written for young children.
