4 out of 5 stars Great for the very young book lovers!   August 23, 2000
 11 out of 12 found this review helpful

This book uses simple language and a simple plot that is just right for very young children. I bought this book for my son when he was about six monthes old and he loved it even then. Now he is two and it is still his favorite. It has also proved to be fairly durable. I do agree with another reviewer that it is not the most facinating book for adults to read, but...This is a great "starter" book to help your young child learn to love to read.


4 out of 5 stars Simply written, but very popular in my house!   January 15, 2000
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This book would be an excellent first reader for a Thomas fan. It's very simply written, but would really hold a beginning reader's interest. My sons don't read yet, but they love to have it read to them, although I must admit it's not the most fascinating book for the adult reader! They love the scenes where the train is going too fast and all sorts of things are splashing and crashing around because the train is going too fast.


3 out of 5 stars a Thomas story for little ones   July 7, 1999
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book is a step up from the simplest Thomas stories for infants. Its colorful pictures and simple text make it perfect for beginning readers. The entire series of Thomas' books builds a little one's interest in preparation for the more mature Thomas stories as written by Rev. Awdry.

Yet another Thomas cash-in, "dumbing down" the original Rev W. Awdry books for tiny tots. If they want inspiration, owners of the copyright should develop the more mature themes of the later Rev W. Awdry books. Which I notice are unavailable here.
