A really good read, that takes you back to your childhood and just to relax with the kids.

I'm no longer a child (or have any), but I am still a bit of a child at heart. This is a wonderful, cherished volume that my wife and I enjoy picking up on occasion when we need to be reminded of childhood. The stories are wonderful. I wish every child was raised to follow and adhere to the morals taught in these stories.

I purchased this book for my two year old not too long away. My 2 year old is very advanced and can name every Thomas character that appears in the Thomas and Friends tv show. This book was way too advanced for him. The art work is average and he lost interest very quickly. He was more interested in trying to rip the pages, or skate on top of the book! The stories are good, but I would suggest waiting until your child is older and can appreciate the book more.
Learning Curve and Brio took full marketing advantage of this book by making toy characters that were mentioned only in one story and then never again such as Neil, Mike, Culdee, Catherine, Ivo Hugh, The Flying Scotsman, Wilbert, Frank and Fred. My two year old now knows these characters and of course I feel compelled to buy them for him! Problem is many are retired and will cost alot of money to try to find them on Ebay or Amazon!

The condition of this book was as expected. This particular book is an amazing volume of Thomas stories. It has allowed us to meet some engines who we have never met before as well as get the back story on others who we only know a little. I enjoy it at least as much as my sons do.

This was my sons' favorite story book at age 3 or 4. The language is advanced, with much more challenging vocabulary than a modern book would use for preschoolers, but it wasn't a problem, so it must be a good thing!
