Format:Hardcover
This is the book which introduces Thomas the Tank Engine. We see him develop from a cheeky little engine who annoys the larger engines into an engine who earns the accolade 'really useful' from the Fat Controller. The reader can enjoy his cheekiness, empathise with his aspirations and share his excitement at being given a branch-line all to himself. He is very much like a small child who tests the limits and is rewarded or chastised as appropriate. Perhaps that's why my little one is so besotted with him! The illustrations are, as ever, very interesting, and Mum/Dad have to read the stories over and over. The engines', coaches' and trucks' language echoes the sounds of the real thing, as usual. Our little boy loves this book - he has given each story its own name and knows them all so well that he can fill in the blanks if you stop halfway through a sentence. A well-loved and much-thumbed book.

This book is a real treat for any Thomas fan in the little tank engine's 60th anniversary year. With a real cloth jacket in classic blue, silver gilding and embossing on the dust jacket. The captions inside are a nice touch too. Perfect for a christening or special birthday gift - I hope my godson will like it when a bit older!! This is limited edition too, so should prove highly collectible.

My kids love having the Thomas stories read to them as I enjoyed my father reading them to me, as he did before that. The stories are simple and short, so ideal as a bed time story for pre-readers, yet great when the kids start to read. All the stories are moralistic, but not obtrusively so. Do your kids a favour, buy these books

Hello Thomas!
Another favourite of my 2-year old, lovely stories just the right length for bedtime. Nice to know how Thomas got his branch line as well!
