This book is an "easy reader" and contains a very watered down version of "Hero of the Rails," in which Thomas finds Hiro and attempts the large, old engine. In the original episode all of the other engines become involved and show their care and concern. In this book, Spencer is the only other engine mentioned, as the "bad guy." There is no real story line to the book, and you need to know the original story to make sense of the book.
Another great Step into Reading book! My boys love Thomas so we are collecting all the ones we don't have yet. This will aid with reading, phonics and sight word skills and your child won't even know they are learning! My son memorizes the words and he's only 3. These are great quality and will last thru passing them down from child to child..
Wonderful present for our grandson: he enjoyed it very much. I intend to buy more of these books. I wish they weren't so expensive (I mean the price PLUS the shipping - amounts to a fortune!). Unfortunately not all readers of live in the USA, and the shipping costs are gettting too high. Consider that the book costs $3.99 and the shipping $10.98. See what I mean? The shipping costs the double of the book's price... Maybe you should try other shipping system?Allways happy to BUY from , and review too if that helps someone...Thank you
My son 2yrs old loves Thomas!! He loves this book. He has almost memorized the story. I have had to order a new one die to daily repeated use!!! I love these books as do my children!! It's like a five minute story! Perfect for little ones to keep their attention!!!
Easy for the toddler set to follow along while you read and easy enough for them to memorize. They can easily tell you what's going on and begin to learn the words. We have a few of these and my children read them over and over and over and...
Love me some Thomas the Tank Engine books. My ggson is just over the moon about these books. They are cute and well written. I put them on my kindle fire for him. We read them when he spends the night.
Good book for little kids! Although I wish the paper and the book was a bit studier, especially for my nephew who loves to carry these around - but - it is still a great book! It is small, easy to pack to take in the car or to an outing, etc. I really enjoy these books!
The book content is great and our son really enjoys it. However, we've now had two Thomas & Friends books in this Step Into Reading series fall apart within a couple of weeks. That's with us holding the books and no toddler-based abuse. The binding just fails and pages start falling out.
