My son is 3 years old and loves everything Thomas related. These books were a hit from the very first day and he still asks for them during story time on a daily basis. Good quality, bright engaging pictures, and accessible text. The set was a great deal as I would happily have purchased every one of these books individually.
If you've seen the movies that go with these realize that they don't match the movies word for word. Meaning, they skip a lot because you only have about 12 pages of reading which is great when you are trying to get your kid into bed and go to sleep. Sometimes we sneak in 2 books because they go kinda fast. Lots of good pictures and nice slipcase to hold all of them. Highly recommended if you kid likes thomas!
Our youngest grandson is a Thomas & Friends fan. He is starting to read and this was another great series to help him with reading skills.
My granddaughter loves Thomas the Train and at less than a year old can tell you that she loves him and all his adventures. Good stories with morals and learning experiences for every child to learn from. One of the few children's stories that all of us enjoy.
It was kinda disappointing that each book is based on one of the movies (or vica version) that my son has seen countless times on Prime, I was hoping for some original content. While I could definitely criticize the quality of story telling in these books, my 2 year old seems to like them a lot so overall it was money well spent.
We have the full collection of the original Thomas/Audry stories, which our daughter loves, and this was our first venture out into the "golden books" Thomas stories. We knew they were unrelated to the original stories, but I was still surprised at just how bad they are -- just junk, really. They're going to be "put away" as soon as the novelty wears off, and we'll return to the original stories.
My son 3.5 y old loves all 5 books and it was a great price. Have 5 stories similar like in the movie, Hero of the Rails, Misty Island Rescue, Day of Diesels, The Great Discovery, and Blue Mountain Mistery. Yes the stories were made shorter and can sound a little ridiculuous but kids won't mind. The size of this books make it easy to carry it in your bag or kids' backpack for to go reading. I ended up buying more little golden books title of Thomas and Friends after this purchase.
My son loves the baby fingers Thomas books. He's able to open the book to see the specific engines he likes. Also, the book is short but its perfect for a 1.5 year old's sometime short attention span.
