Catch Me, Catch Me!: A Thomas the Tank Engine Story

Our two year old loves this book. We read it to him 100 times the first week. He walks around the house asking for it all day long. Go, Go, Go are his new favorite words now!

Perfect for the beginning reader!

What a great confidence builder for my kindergarten son, who was able to sit down and read this book aloud with little help. He now often reads it to his 3 year old brother, and other uses the learning cards at the end to review words. This is a great series to encourage early readers!

A wonderful young children's book!

This book was one of the very first ones I purchased for my daughter when she was three months old. I read it to her often although I realized she probably wasn't absorbing it all, but she was able to recite the delightful book at 16 months and Thomas and Gordon are her absolute favorites! She even calls herself Thomas sometimes. We now have dozens of Thomas books, but this one, the *first* one, is still a favorite.

This book makes is fun to read and learn at the same time.

Great preschool bed time book. The book only uses 50 words and they use them over and over. The child becomes familiar with them and is excited to recognize them in the word list at the end of the book. Nice clear, colorful pictures with lots of thing to see, especially if your familiar with the Thomas the Tank Engine series. Teaches a lesson and is enjoyable.

A great book to read to your preschooler!

Catch Me, Catch Me is my three-year-old son's favorite book! Using only 50 words, it tells the story of a race between two engines, Thomas and Gordon. It's "catchy" rhymes are easy to remember. The colorful pictures contain other characters from the "Thomas the Tank Engine" series. Especially useful is the back page, which is a set of flash cards of the words contained in the story. Give "Catch Me, Catch Me" to a little one you know -- you'll enjoy reading as much as they enjoy hearing it!
