The board book is pretty sturdy, so it should withstand plenty of readings. The illustrations are surprisingly detailed for their style. The text flows nicely; it has a good rhythm. There are a lot of things to talk about here: a hat that flies off, a cow who moos at Thomas as Thomas peeps back, and a dog beside the tracks. The fact that the whole story is about Thomas taking a judge to a train show means that a great variety of engines appear at the end, and Harvey shows up on an earlier page.If you are bothered by the use of "slow" (as opposed to "slowly") as an adverb, you might want to skip this one. Thomas "goes slow" repeatedly.Additional note: I didn't realize that the board book was an abridged version of Go, Train, Go! until my son got the full version for Christmas. The two books have very different rhythms, and the full version has quite a few more pages. There's even a goat in the longer book, but there's no goat in the board book. Initially, I liked the rhythm of the board book better, but the other version is growing on me.
Thomas & Friends: Go, Train, Go! (Beginner Books(R))Stuff happens! A well-dressed tidy judge boards Thomas the Tank Engine for the ride of her life in Go, Train, Go! Off comes her hat and on goes the mud as they hurry to get to the train show. Reverend W. Awdry's famous train wins yet again in this Beginner Book Story illustrated by Tommy Stubbs. Wholesome, healthy, and moral, Thomas and his friends are always a safe choice for children.Kids love Thomas and will find reading easy in this book with short sentences and small words that repeat. The colorful illustrations will be familiar to fans of the television show. The text of this story finds Thomas and his passenger at odds. She urges him to go fast, but the little train encounters multiple obstacles to overcome. Goats and cows, logs and mud, Thomas labors to satisfy the needs of his rider while staying safe. What little boy, however reluctant to read, could resist a book about Thomas that includes an authority figure getting quite messy?
My 2 1/2 year old son loved the book. He brings it to me often to have me read it to him again and again.
My 2 yrs + 2 month old grandson loves this Thomas book! (his other favorite is Crack in the Track). He now "reads" it to us and has pretty much the entire book memorized. We love to hear his little voice saying "faster than fast he goes" - He also has decided that the "Judge" is "Ga-Ga" (me) and inserts that instead of "Judge" in the reading.He related the logs in this book very early to trees and cut firewood logs he sees in the real world. At 18 months he would point at a pile of cut logs and say "Logs like Thomas!"The rhymes are corny, but kids love them!
I didn't read the description of this book as closely as I should have and thought it was the bigger, paper page unabridged version. This is a smaller board book with an abridged version of the story. My 18 month old loved it anyway, and perhaps being a board book wasn't such a bad thing as he couldn't damage it as easily as a paper paged book. He loves Thomas so often brings us this book or it's mate, Stop Train Stop, to read to him. My only complaint is that because it is so small, it tends to get lost among his larger board books on his shelf.
I actually tried to order this in hardcover but was also watching football and bought it for my Kindle. It is fun to read with the grandkids and let them swipe to turn the pages. I haven't had the courage to let them drive the kindle solo.
It's ok. Fun bedtime quick read.. But not for children over 3! There is nothing educational about it which I love to incorporate in or story reading! What can you say when you have a 2 yr old that loves Thomas?? LOL!
I mistakenly thought Thomas was more a character for little boys. But my 21 month old daughter absolutely loves this book, and other Thomas books also. In fact "Go Train Go" was the first book title she ever said, as she'd hand the book to us to read. The illustrations are lovely, and I think the rhyming appeals to her. She's been requesting to read Thomas books daily, more than any other character.
