Chunky Flap books are Great, except this one. September 11, 2002
15 out of 16 found this review helpful

I have four Chunky Flap books. They are all great except for "Surprise, Thomas".

Each individual page in these books is supposed to tie into a central theme. It is a stretch to say that this book follows that pattern. This book is very disjointed. The text is grammatically awkard and fails to tie each page into the party theme.

There are even a few places where the text doesn't make sense such as when the flaps open to reveal clowns and the text says "shoes" instead of "clowns". There are shoes in the picture but I think clowns are the important part of the picture and they are what fits into the party theme.

This book is a nice size to travel with and the flaps are fun to open. However, there are much better Chunky Flap books. I would recommend getting one of those and skipping this one. "Open the Barn Door" is particularly good.

5 out of 5 stars Surprise Thomas! is a great little book December 21, 2001

My son Tommy loves this book. Its small size is just right for him to carry it around with him as a security item, I guess. But I've read it to him so many times, and he still loves it. It's been taped and retaped due to so much handling, but that's OK with him. Lots of fun flaps which he loves to open. A great book!

Our 1 year old son never tires of opening the flaps to see what's behind them!
