This collection of small hardback books is worth every penny I paid, and easily earns its five stars.
I bought this collection about 10 weeks ago as bedtime reading for my toddler daughter who loves the Thomas The Tank Engine TV series - and I must admit I love the stories as much as her as she listens. The stories develop the Thomas 'world' as you read through them in sequence - you really get a sense of the author's love of the railway he knew which was disappearing before his eyes while he was writing these books.
There is so much to like about this box set. The box containing the books is made to look like a train station with the Fat Director/Controller and Thomas, and you see different views of the station from each side of the box. It is very hard-wearing, and houses the books very well. Each book is a small hardback, with the author's remarks and 4 inter-related stories in each book. (Perfect for reading a chapter or two before you put your little one to sleep). The books and box are of high quality - to get this many quality books for this price really is great. One slight niggle is that the box is only just big enough to house all the books, and fitting them back in after reading can be a challenge for an adult, let alone a toddler.
I had previously bought 'The Three Railway Engines' (Book 1 in the collection) seperately to 'test the water' to see whether my daughter and I would enjoy it. This was a different edition of the book. I can say that the books in this collection are of a better quality - the harback is tougher, shiner, and the colours are brighter.
If you and/or your kids enjoy Thomas on TV, this set is worth getting. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoy these books.
