Thomas Gets His Own Branch Line (Thomas & Friends)

Rating:
Summary: Too Wordy!
Review: My 3 year old son is a huge Thomas fan, but tends to get a bit distracted by two things about this book. One is it's "wordiness" - there's a lot of language on each page, and he gets bored and want to flip ahead, while I'm trying to finish. The other is the odd "Americanization" of the characters, in the illustrations - the people look like they're in Kansas, not England!

Rating:
Summary: Beautifully illustrated
Review: This is another Thomas book beautifully illustrated by Tommy Stubbs. I much prefer these Thomas books to the "originals". Both my 3 year old and 4 1/2 year old enjoy this book very much. It's an engaging story with good moral lessions (Thomas misbehaves, but learns from his mistakes).
