Customer Reviews

Nice book to help with alphabet... grandkids will love it. This book will stay at grandma's house.

For All Thomas Fans

My son is two and obssessed with Thomas. With the ABC book, it helps encourage him to learn his letters while he still gets to enjoy his engines.

Good for Learning

My daughter is 20 months old and is a huge fan of Thomas. After I started reading this book to her, at about 19 months old, she started saying her letters. She can say nearly every letter sound at least kind of, despite the fact that she could say only the word baby back then and has since learned otherwise only dada, nana, and mama. Just today, she pointed to a letter and said it on her own. She likes to look at this book while on the potty. I think it is pretty durable. The pages are thick and semi-glossy. The cover is an ordinary, glossy hardcover.

Great Way For Train Lovers To Learn Their ABC's

Thomas's ABC Book features color photographs of the beloved characters that live and work on the Island of Sodor, including Bertie the Bus, Sir Topham Hatt, Edward, James, Toby, Percy, Edward, and James. Each letter of the alphabet is highlighted, and is tied into a short sentence about the picture. For example: A" is for all aboard. "All aboard!" calls Thomas the Tank Engine. "Q" is for quick. James the Red Engine comes to a quick stop. This is a delightful book that introduces the alphabet for small children, and is especially engaging because of the colorful pictures that are actually clear still from videos (at least, that's what they look like). Young train enthusiasts will especially love this book-as well as parents wanting a short (but educational) bed-time story to read to the kids.

Lovable Thomas and friends explore the alphabet.

Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends from the Island of Sodor introduce ABC's to children. An excellent picture book that is perfect for pre-readers. A must have for any young Thomas fan! Purchase two as it is destined to become "well-loved".
