mixed review:
There are some good things and some bad things about this Thomas the Tank Engine story book. The illustrations are action-filled and colorful, the text is simple, and the book includes tiny flash cards for helping your beginning reader; however, the text is also confusing. In order to stick to 50 words the author has sacrificed clarity and readability. It's not always clear who is speaking, and rhymes are often strained and awkward. Also the lesson is not that slow and steady wins the race, as others have stated, but that Thomas is losing but then finds a shortcut through a tunnel. All-in-all, not the best of this educational and entertaining series.
Thomas does it again:
What a wonderful wonderful story for youngsters. It's simple yet catchy text encourages pre-reading. Also has a good message-- slow and steady wins the race. My 2 and 3 year old boys love it. Be prepared to read this one over and over. You'll have it memorized in no time!!
Cute!:
My two year old loves this flip book filled with surprises. It's colorful and creative!
A great book for young children...boys or girls!:
I originally bought this book for my son when he was 3 years old (he's now 9). He loved it. We read it every night for months. Now, my 2 year old daughter has discovered it and she too loves it. She already knows most of the book by heart. It's been fun watching both my children get so much enjoyment from this one book. This is a really great book for young children...boys or girls!
