Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Illus. in full color. Just 50 words tell how Thomas the Tank Engine races Gordon, a big engine, to see who can get to the other side of the hill first. Included is a page of cut-out mini learning cards--one for each word in the story.

This book might be good for a kid who is learning to read on his or her own, but it is very, very dull to read aloud. Due to the limited vocabulary (50 words), there is little characterization or description-- just a very simplified communication of what is happening in the race between Thomas and Gordon. The illustrations are good, but the vocabulary and concepts are not challenging or imaginative. My son, who is two and a half, loves Thomas enough to request the reading of even this awful book, so I may have to hide it.

THis is one of the BEST books for early readers. Many common words are repeated. I have many books from various early reading programs(some have too many difficult words and too many different words) and this is one of the best. The vocabulary is limited, just what a new reader needs. My 4 year old can read many of the words.

Thomas the Tank Engine books and DVD's are the best, and kids love them. At 2 1/2 years old, my grandson is a little frightened of the stories on DVD, I think it's because of the intense facial expressions (I'm sure he'll outgrow it soon), but he loves the books.

My son loves this book, and constantly brings it to me to read. It's such a simple book, I think he can understand it easily. I'm guessing before too long, he's going to be able to almost read it on his own. I think it's a great book for beginning readers. I'm not very concerned about the message that it sends, I see it as an entertaining Thomas story. I just don't see it as a negative book.
