Customer Reviews

Thomas fan

My son loved this book. The pages were easy for him to handle and the pictures were very colorful! He will bring it to me sit next to me and wait for me to read it to him.

this book creates smiles

I bought this book for my 15 month old cousin. He loved the book and wanted me to read it to him over and over again. Just looking at the book made him smile! This is a good little book for babies.

Grandson loves this book

My 18 month old grandson loves this book. He insists on it being read to him, usually 5 times in a row at each reading session.

All time favorite

This is our third copy of this book. My children have literally loved this book to shreds. Even before children can speak words, they love to learn the sounds of animals -- especially easily identifiable farm animals. Thomas picks up cars filled with cows, pigs, horses, and ducks -- on each page, the child and I make the animal's sound. I am considering buying a couple more to save for the next generation of Thomas the Tank lovers

Clever, zany illustration enhances an already popular theme

Thomas the Train has delighted babies and toddlers for years. But the real treasure is the zany illustrations and attention to detail that illustrator Owain Bell creates in his world. The illustrations are a source of humor for children and adults... but you must take care to point this out to your child. Trains ride by men falling from ladders, grandma's snoring in the back of cars, and all under the guise of "Mr. Topham" who is modeled after the Vanderbuilts. I love this book, it just keeps on going.
