Fun for my train lovers

This is a simple story as previously stated. Thomas decides to zip through his route one day causing havoc for his passengers. I really don't feel it was "dumbed down" It was created for toddlers. I think perhaps parents often choose books because they like to read them. I choose books that my children enjoy. I love a book that allows me to bring out my award worthy acting abilities :) I like to sit my boys on my lap & when he zooms by a station...I zoom to the far left with them or right. I also bounce them when the items inside the train are bouncing about. They are ages 4 & 2. This is their favorite book. It makes it into our rotation several times a week & they don't seem to bore with it. It is also a good early reader.

Great Book!!!!

This book is great!!!! my 10 month old son loves when i read it to him, iv learned how to read spanish just by these kiddy books it's great!!

The Perfect Combination!

I can't think of anything better for a two year old obsessed with trains! Dr. Seuss meets Thomas is an incredible combination. Both this book and "Go Train Go" have become my son's favorite bedtime books. They finally got him excited to sit down and read/listen to books.

Stop Train Stop

Loved this book. My grandchildren loved and we read it over and over again.

Simply written, but very popular in my house!

This book would be an excellent first reader for a Thomas fan. It's very simply written, but would really hold a beginning reader's interest. My sons don't read yet, but they love to have it read to them, although I must admit it's not the most fascinating book for the adult reader! They love the scenes where the train is going too fast and all sorts of things are splashing and crashing around because the train is going too fast.
