5.0 out of 5 stars
A nice little book,
By
This review is from: Oliver the Western Engine (Railway) (Hardcover)
This is a nice older version of the Thomas stories. There is a lot more technical detail in this, than in the more modern series. This is lovely for real Thomas enthusiasts, but can make answering the little ones questions a little difficult if you don't have an in-depth knowledge of railways yourself!
4.0 out of 5 stars
"resource and sagacity",
By
This review is from: Oliver the Western Engine (Railway) (Hardcover)
The title of my review refers to the title of one of the stories in this book, so you can see it is not really a book for toddlers or very young kids. In fact, although it is part of the railway series, the book is quite technical and probably aimed at kids aged 7-9, although whether kids this age would go near anything associated with Thomas the Tank engine is another issue. Recently, Thomas and friends have been rebranded for tots, these older books can go over the heads of the taget audience. The book has some lovely original illustrations and some great stories, including one about a mean bus called Bulgy, who of couse, gets his comeuppance! Oliver, the titular engine is a lovely character, although one of the less well known in the series.He is saved from the scrapheap by the Fat Controller (giving a moral message to future railway enthusiasts!).

Great Western Engines,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oliver, the Western Engine (Thomas the Tank Engine) (Hardcover)
This book was orginally going to be called "Great Western Engines" but the Publishers changed it to "Oliver the Western Engine"! In here, Duck and Donald have a arguments involving ducks (ha!), Oliver crashes into a turntable well but teaches an oboxious truck a lesson and Duck outsmarts a deceiving double-decker bus. No. 24 in the RS.
