Customer Reviews

Thomas the tank engine

I bought this book for my 2 1/2 year old grandson. He loves the tunes and enjoys the book tremendously.

Great book

I purchased this book for my 17 month old. He loves it. He goes for the book sometimes several times a day. The book is well made in that it will not fall apart: the binding, the part that holds the music, and the thickness of the pages. The book also doesn't stop playing if one of the buttons are pushed. I recommend it.

Nice little book...

I'm not a huge fan of interactive books as the sounds often seem superfluous, if not downright distracting. But, this book is comprised of five short songs with Thomas-related lyrics you can sing to the tunes of "The Wheels on the Bus," "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain," "Down by the Station," and the title tune, which I think is a "Thomas" original. Thomas is on every page with whichever friend is the subject of that song. The book is a nice size for a toddler to handle; perfect for the 18+ months age recommendation, although you certainly could use it with a younger child. And, each song plays in its entirety even if your little one presses another button before it's finished.
