Product Description
Thomas is taking the judge to the train show! He speeds up a hill, across a ridge, through a tunnel, and over a bridge. But as soon as Thomas starts to go fast—screech!—he has to slow down. A goat is in the way, the wind is pushing him back, the tunnel is very dark, and logs are on the track! As soon as Thomas gets past each delay, he gets to go fast—at last! But will they reach the show on time? Go, Thomas, go!

Thomas & Friends: Go, Train, Go! (Beginner Books(R))
Stuff happens! A well-dressed tidy judge boards Thomas the Tank Engine for the ride of her life in Go, Train, Go! Off comes her hat and on goes the mud as they hurry to get to the train show. Reverend W. Awdry's famous train wins yet again in this Beginner Book Story illustrated by Tommy Stubbs. Wholesome, healthy, and moral, Thomas and his friends are always a safe choice for children.
Kids love Thomas and will find reading easy in this book with short sentences and small words that repeat. The colorful illustrations will be familiar to fans of the television show. The text of this story finds Thomas and his passenger at odds. She urges him to go fast, but the little train encounters multiple obstacles to overcome. Goats and cows, logs and mud, Thomas labors to satisfy the needs of his rider while staying safe. What little boy, however reluctant to read, could resist a book about Thomas that includes an authority figure getting quite messy?
First Book he "reads" himself June 12, 2008
My 2 yrs + 2 month old grandson loves this Thomas book! (his other favorite is Crack in the Track). He now "reads" it to us and has pretty much the entire book memorized. We love to hear his little voice saying "faster than fast he goes" - He also has decided that the "Judge" is "Ga-Ga" (me) and inserts that instead of "Judge" in the reading.
He related the logs in this book very early to trees and cut firewood logs he sees in the real world. At 18 months he would point at a pile of cut logs and say "Logs like Thomas!"
The rhymes are corny, but kids love them!
Great and easy reading December 26, 2007

My sons are HUGE fans of Thomas & Friends and they love this book. I personally find it rather dull, but its still a cute little story about Thomas trying to get the judge to the train show on time. She tells him to "Go, Train, Go!" but just when Thomas gets going "faster than fast," something slows him down. My kids totally anticipate what it's going to be: "Logs! A dark tunnel! A cow!" This story has a charming ending, and my boys always want to read it again.
 This is neither Suess nor Thomas August 19, 2007

This book has a picture of the Cat in the Hat in the corner of the cover. Don't let that fool you. The writing is awful. It sometimes rhymes, like a Dr. Suess book, but then sometimes it doesn't. There is sometimes a rhythm, but mostly it is lost and muddled. It is so poorly written that they don't even tell you who the author was (maybe it was done by committee?) Don't waste your money. Get a real Dr. Suess, or a Real Rev Awdry Thomas.
