A good starter book for Thomas fans August 3, 2008
Unlike many of the other picture books from Random House, this book is illustrated with pictures from the TV show. My sons really lit up when they recognized the stories on TV from our bedtime reading.
There are four stories:
Double Trouble
A Cow on the Line
Old Iron
Percy Takes the Plunge
We have several other Thomas books that were regulars in our bedtime reading collection. I say "were" because my sons are now 5-years old and 4-years old and both are a little too old for these picture books. Aim to read these with your 2-3-year olds.
 Wonderful product December 27, 2006
This book is nice because it has several stories. If you think you're going to read ONE story at a time, be advised, you'll probably have to read clear to the end of the book every time. Reading Thomas books has become our pre-naptime routine--what a great way for Grammy and grandson to bond!
nice story February 21, 2006
A very nice story for 3-year-old fan of Thomas trains, videos,
puzzles, books and pjs.
 Incomplete, dis-jointed, unclear November 23, 2004
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a pretty bad book. It's the 2nd Thomas book, I've ever bought - and I hope most of them aren't as bad as this one. There are several stories in this book, all of which seem to have chunks of the stories missing. It is very dis-jointed. The illustrations (which are photos of the train models) do not help the reader to figure out what is going on in the story. The words(vocabulary) that are used seem to be somewhat unusual (perhaps - they are british terms) - which do not help. This book is not worth the money or the effort. Although my 3 year son doesn't seen to mind too much, it certainly is not his favorite book. Besides, it is frustrating to the adults that have to endure reading this to the children over and over.
 Kind of fragmented. September 2, 2002
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
The stories are good stories,
the pictures are neat, and
the characters are interesting.This book, though, tends to be written
in a sort of fragmentary style,
leaving out a bit much, and often
not giving a good idea of why one
picture follows another. On the other hand, my 3-year-old likes
it, like all her other Thomas books.
