I purchased this for my friend's little boy who just loves anything Thomas. Although the book was a great value and the pictures were beautiful, the print was very small and in all honesty, the story was so long it barely held his attention. This definitely would have been better with a shorter story and much larger print. Most little children don't have such a long attention span, so I would recommend this book for an older child who loves Thomas and also has the patience to have the entire book read to him at one sitting.
This new Thomas & Friends story adds to a great tradition and is a perfect complement to the DVD of the same name. The illustrations are rich and engaging and the story is fast-paced and well told. The book itself is beautifully made, with a fully illustrated jacket over the illustrated hard cover. It's the perfect size to read to younger children, or for older children to pick up on their own.If you have the DVD, this will be a great companion. If you don't, the book stands well on its own! This book is a must-have for Thomas fans and a great introduction for new readers.
My son loves this book, the way that he loves all the Thomas Golden Books. BUT, parents be warned that this is very wordy and far and away the longest of them all. It takes forever to read, the print is small and for some reason on most pages the type is in a dark background so you really have to focus in full light to read. I usually like to read to my son in low light at night and I can't do that at all with this book. Also, the story itself is of a movie they made with the old kind of Thomas and when we showed that to my son he didn't have as much interest in that as the new kind of movies and it introduces a character, Stanley, that must be retired because his train is significantly more expensive to buy than most. Just my two cents from the mom of Thomas obsessed two year old.
this thomas book is based on one of my three year olds favorite movies and he loves when i read this book to him or to flip through the pages himself and uses his imagination to tell a story of his own.
Too many words per page for a young toddler. Hiro of the rails is great, this book however could have been condensed a little more to hold my 2 year olds attention, or had more interesting pictures.
Grandson is a Thomas Train fan and carries some of his books with him when traveling. While he likes the pictures, he's not quite into the entire story phase yet.
Little Golden books are always a great purchase. I was raised reading them & now our daughters are too. Plus, Thomas is our 3yo's favorite character.
my son loves Thomas and this a great book to add to his collection! I enjoyed reading it to him, just as much as he enjoyed listening to me read it!
