Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends

Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends - (Ages 2-10!) I've seen the delight on the faces of two-year-olds and ten-year-olds (and adults!) as they converge on a personal appearance of Thomas, the little blue tank engine with the big eyes and smiling face. TTTE is a series of stories about the tank engine and all his friends on the fictional Island of Sodor. The original stories were written in England by the Rev. W. Audry starting in 1945 (his son Christopher later took up the pen to continue the stories his father had written for him), and tell of the engines' grand adventures, as well as how they get along with, and learn from each other. Children can also have fun collecting the toy engines and their friends in many different forms of train sets and accessories. This link will take you to a great hardcover collection, 415 pages, of all the Reverend's original stories, but you may want to look further into the world of Thomas The Tank Engine.
