My son wasn't crazy about this book at first. The story is not all that interesting and when I first tried to get it to glow in the dark it did not work. What we discovered is that you have to have it under a bright light for awhile before you turn out the lights, then it works, if you are done trying to read. My son started to love the book only when he discovered he could turn the lights on and off and see the book glow, frankly I think it was more about having access to the lamp switch than the book--he is 22 months.Also, I like books that have some sort of point, some bit of education or moral tale slipped in, this book offered nothing. I gave it 3 stars because my son eventually loved it, and that's kind of the point.
I'm generally a positive reviewer, but I cannot believe that this book has a 4-star rating. My son's a big reader so we have a ton of books. I've read many high-quality childrens books and a few lemons. This is quite possibly the worst book that I've ever read, and there isn't even a redeeming lesson learned in the book. ***SPOILER ALERT*** The plot details Thomas's search for a shooting star, and ends with Thomas deciding he's tired and gives up looking. The glow in the dark feature doesn't work because it's a book and the pages are closed thus no light is absorbed by the glowing portions. I gave it two stars for two reasons:1) My son liked the book the first couple times I read it and then realized how awful it is.2) If you wanted to take the time to let each page absorb some light your kid might think it's cool.I highly recommend not wasting your money on this book unless you like spending money on horrible books.
The book does have portions that glow in the dark, and it seems to work pretty decent if you hold those pages up to light.However, the story is terrible. Poorly written, the same exact phrase used over and over again and its ends abruptly with no real resolution. It’s like they took a longer story and just cut it off.
I bought this book for the glow in the dark fun. It does NOT. Dont buy this card board baby book. Im showing the brightest page..not saying much.
Simply put, the story can't be read in the dark because the words don't glow. This seems like a pretty obvious thing to do. This alone knocks 3 stars off.The story is also horrible, as other people described, Thomas can't go to sleep, goes out looking for a shooting star, then gets tired and goes home. That is some solid narrative!My son liked the book for a bit, but we ended up putting it away because it is a pain to charge the glow bits, you can either stand under a bright light and turn each page, with about 10-15 second charging pause, or spread it wide open standing up next to a lamp and get a so-so charge on each page.
I am honestly shocked at the anger some people have for this book...It's a child's book.. My only real concern is if my son enjoys it, and he does.In addition:It definitely glows.. Fanning the book upright on my sons dresser during the day made it glow brightly. It's a pretty simple concept to get light to all the pages unlike some reviews suggestAlso....Granted this story isn't a literary masterpiece like some revivers expected (from a Thomas book???) it's a nice tale about Thomas not wanting to sleep at first, going for a little ride and eventually getting sleepy.It's a cute nighttime book with simple enough sentence structures so I can keep it around and soon my son will be able to read it to me. I like the idea of that.
Daughter asks me to read this almost nightly.Pros: Images are kid-friendly, seems to be pleasant and keeps the interest of my 2.5 yr old daughter Story is short enough to, again, keep the interest of a constantly moving toddler Textured pages are coolCons: I realize this is a glow in the dark book, but I can't read the book when its pitch black so...we have never really seen it glow Story doesn't really make too much sense and doesn't really rhyme like what we are used to with other children's books
This 5 star review comes from my 3 year old nephew. I purchased this board book for him as he just loves Thomas the Tank Engine right now. His mother read "Goodnight Moon" as a bedtime ritual. My nephew not only loves this book, he is ready for a new ritual as he looked through it and declared that it was his new bedtime story. He still wants it every night. Many thanks to the author and to the seller for making this available and making this "Auntie" look great with a birthday present SCORE! :)
