Duck the saddle-tank engine is Great Western and proud of it! In this book, he laughs as a jealous Gordon loses his dome, meets the oily Diesel Engine who gets him into trouble, and has a close shave before finally saving the day.

This book must contain three of the best stories about the Fat Controller's railway, with 'Duck and the Diesel Engine' being my personal favourite. The language in them, as usual, echoes the sounds of real trains and the stories include linguistic jokes for we parents who have to read them night after night. The illustrations are a continual source of enjoyment and the trucks' song has become a part of our son's bedtime routine, so popular is this book. I still enjoy reading this one to my son, even though I'm pretty much word-perfect in it...! One criticism - my son loves the flyleaf of the original editions - it's a shame that the new edition hasn't incorporated it or something as interesting. Otherwise, four excellent, moral stories which continue to give great pleasure to one happy three year old (and his parents!).

The absolute best way to get started with Thomas
9 Aug 2005
By Marion Elporter
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
These books, plus a Conductor's figure 8 set at around the age of two are the absolutely perfect way to introduce your child to Thomas.
I recommend these books because they are the original stories with the original illustrations. The language is wonderful for reading aloud. And I agree with the other reviewer who commented on their manageable size and sturdy compositions.
