Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Teacher Review
Thomas the Really Useful Engine is part of LeapFrog's range of interactive books that are designed to be used with their LeapPad Learning System. The pack contains a spiral-bound book and a cartridge. Simply slot both the book and the cartridge into the appropriate areas on the LeapPad and you're ready to start. This title is recommended for children at the LeapStart stage of the LeapPad library, which is children up to five years old.

The story itself centres around a huge rainstorm, which blows through the island of Sodor, causing a tree to crash and break through the station house. Thomas's Friends are sent out to find help and aid in the repair and rescue effort. When they go missing, Thomas braves the raging storm to find them and proves to everyone what a really useful engine he can be.

Fans of Thomas and friends will be comfortable with the bold, bright images that perfectly replicate the characters they know so well from books and TV. The LeapPad comes with a special touch-sensitive pen--follow the story by using it to touch the words on the page. Parents will love the fact that as children read on, using the "magic pen", they will build basic skills: story comprehension, vocabulary, character comprehension, social skills and manners, logic and deductive reasoning.

Thomas: The Really Useful Engine will entertain pre-school children, and is designed, with the LeapPad, to build reading confidence. Read it together, and enjoy! --Susan Naylor

Manufacturer's Description
A huge rainstorm blows through the Island of Sodor. CRASH! A tree falls and breaks through the station house. Thomas' friends are sent out to find help and supplies to make repairs. When they don't return, Thomas braves the storm to find them and proves just what a really useful engine he can be.

Thomas the Really Useful Engine teaches story comprehension, character comprehension, logic and deductive reasoning, and vocabulary.

The LeapPad Learning System uses a larger platform and thinner pen designed for preschoolers and nursery age children to introduce them to the magic of books and reading. And the library is organised by age to teach reading, phonics, vocabulary, maths, science, music and much more.

Books magically come to life with voices, music, silly sounds and games while children learn to read. With the award-winning LeapPad learning system, children are always engaged, always having fun. And with more than 50 interactive book titles in the library, they'll be learning something new for years to come.

Children place a book on the LeapPad player, pop in the cartridge, and touch any page with the Magic Pen to hear words and stories read out loud, learn letter sounds, hear lovable characters come alive and play learning games. Each book is packed with engaging activities, games, stories and facts that make reading and learning fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Fun with Thomas, 4 Jun 2003
By D J Watts (Abingdon, Oxon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
We have been using this for a couple of days now, my son thinks it is fabulous! Although the leap system is very good, it can be slightly patronizing and cheesy. However, this book features the same narrator as the TV show which gave it an enormous amount of credibility with my son. The layout is up to usual leap pad standard and the games are fun. So far this has been one book that has not gone out of favour after a couple of hours!
