Sodor Loves Trevor And So Will Your Children

This small 25-page book is a Thomas lover's delight. Using pictures from the television series, it tells the tale of Trevor the Traction Engine and how he proves to be a truly useful engine -- even though he does not run on rails! The book begins with a few sentences about how Edward (No. 2) saved Trevor from the scrap heap, and how their friendship continues to this day. Trevor now works at the vicarage orchard but at the moment he is lamenting that there is not much work to do. Edward then tells his friend that Sir Topham Hatt has requested his assistance at the new harbor. Thomas meets Trevor when he is sent to bring this new Steamie to the new harbor. Thomas has never seen a traction engine and is puzzled by the fact that Trevor doesn't run on rails. Trevor shows his usefulness though at the docks where all is in confusion. But as much fun as Trevor has *saving the day*, his favorite part of the work is when he gets to give rides to the children. A sweet book that ends with Trevor sleepily remembering his busy time at the new harbor, and all of his new friends. This sleepy, quiet ending makes this book is a good one for bedtime. And what more can you say in favor of a Steamie than that Annie and Clarabel like him! Great book... my son loves it and so do I.
