Thomas and Friends: Trains, Cranes and Troublesome Trucks (Thomas & Friends)

What does it take to bring the entire Island of Sodor Railway System to a halt? Just a crack in the track. Well, a crack in the track and some hail on the rail . . . and a toad in the road, and a fuss on the bus. In fact, one thing leads to another until just about everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Luckily, there’s a breakdown train with a couple of cranes that can fix a big mess!

Thomas thee blue train works all day while Percy the green train works all night. Told in the simplest language, here is a charming tale of what they each do. PerfectNand portableNfor toddlers and their caregivers.

Thomas is taking the judge to the train show, but things keep slowing him down! First a cow, then a dog, then a town. and a log! Will Thomas get to go fast?at last? Can he get the judge to the train show in time? Go, train, go!

Little boys ages 2-5 who are fans of Thomas & Friends will love this fun format that features sturdy board pages with glow-in-the-dark ink. The moon, stars, and Thomas' headlight brighten the night in this sleepy bedtime story.

Originally published in 1945, these four stories feature Awdry's now-famous engines--the kind, hardworking Edward, proud Gordon, and fussy Henry. Watchful readers will recognize a very popular little blue engine hiding in one of the pictures--waiting for his own book. Illustrations.

Illustrated in full color. When Thomas the Tank Engine decides to bypass his usual stops and speed directly to the end of the line, havoc ensues. Thomas is in such a hurry that the passengers can't get on or off, and everything gets bounced up and down in a wonderful jumble!
