Amazon Review

It's over fifty years since the publication of the first Railway Series stories by the Rev. W. Awdry. To celebrate, the publishers have reissued them in six special books, each containing four famous tales of Thomas and his friends. Larger and chunkier than the originals, these books feature all the original text and illustrations and are redesigned in a way that makes every spread unique. Easier to hold and look at, this format is ideal for parents and children to share together.

Contained in this volume: "Henry and the Elephant", "Tenders and Turntables", "Trouble in the Sand", "Percy Runs Away". (Ages 3 and over)--Philippa Reece --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing reprint 27 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Whilst there is no doubt that the stories in these books are timeless, the new format appears to devalue them. The excellent artwork is split up over several pages, with small bits mixed in amongst the text. This is a inhibitor to the childrens enjoyment of the stories. Fortunately we have a full set of the old volumes.
