My 4 year old son and I both loved it! Happy to have a new Thomas story as well, have every other single one. Also, how brilliant are the marketing people at Thomas to incorporate DINOSAURS into the story?!!? My son is just getting into dinosaurs and fossils (after his first love of Thomas & Friends), couldn’t have come at a better time. Can’t wait to see movie.

Our family went on a road trip a few months ago and I bought my kids some new stories to keep them occupied during the long trip. My three-year-old son loves Thomas and Friends and this book is one that he didn't have at the time so he was excited to find it in his backpack! Just this year my twins have begun tolerating longer stories and I always loved the Little Golden Books as a kid so I have been adding more and more of these books to our library. These stories are a great length because they take roughly five to ten minutes each to read, depending on how much you look at the pictures and discuss the story, so we are able to read a couple of these each night before bedtime.Tale of the Brave is a story about Percy who gets spooked when Thomas tells him about the giant footprints he finds in the mud. Percy thinks they are from a monster and everything he sees around the island of Sodor gets him scared. Percy thinks he needs to run away from Sodor to prove how brave he is when James keeps scaring him. Gator tells him that running away doesn't make him brave. The engines then discover what made the giant footprints and they all feel better.Like all LGB, this book measures 6 1/2 inches by 8 inches and has hardcovers with paperback pages and the trademark gold spine. This book has 24 pages and most pages have a couple small paragraphs so it's not super short or long. The pictures are also really nice and gives us more to talk about during storytime!Even though there is talk of monsters, this book isn't actually scary. My kids aren't afraid of it as long as I explain why Percy is scared. My son loves for me to read this to him and sometimes he will just sit down and look at it by himself. It will also be good for when he is older and learning to read. If you have a Thomas fan, this would be a good story to add to their library. I plan to keep buying more of these LGB stories for my son because they are great for bedtime or just a quick story!

My son reads this one over and over. He loves the big beautiful pictures and likes that it has more details than the "small golden book". Hard to find "Big Golden Books." So glad carries them. :)

My son just loves Thomas the Train and has been ill. After giving his medication, we curled up in bed and I read this to him last night. He was so thrilled and happy. I think my being able to read this to him ( from kindle) on such a short notice made him feel a little bit better and lifted his spirits. Was my little last minute surprise for him. Thank you!

My 3 year old is absolutely obsessed with this story. We read it multiple times a day. Every day. For several weeks now. He owned probably 15 Thomas books before we bought this one, but there is just something about this book he loves.

Thank you for writing another fun story. I love Thomas and his friends. I enjoy reading this book. BEN MORSE

I would like this book better for my 2 year old if it didn't use the word monster. Don't need to put any negative ideas into her little head right before bed.

A great story to share with my grandson.
