Good Morning Engines is a Play-a-Sound book which features 7 sound buttons: Thomas, a rooster crowing, band music, Percy, ZZZZZZ's (sleeping sound), a ticking clock, and the sound of trains chugging on the track.

This is a glossy, board book with 8 pages that encourages children to push sound buttons at appropriate times in the story (indicated by a square symbol of the sound button). There is a royal parade on the Island of Sodor, but James has overslept! Thomas and Percy come to the rescue, but will the passengers get to the royal parade on time?

Note: the batteries for the sound buttons are replaceable, but you'll have to send in a check for $5.99. You'll then receive two sets of three replacement batteries, plus a free screwdriver and replacement screw. How long the initial batteries last depend on how much your child pushes them. My son has had this book for over a year, and the sound buttons are still going strong.

My 2 1/2 yr-old boy loves the book. It's the right size for a toddler to hold and carry along. The pages are sturdy and the sounds are fun to listen to. I hope more in the same series are coming.

Grandson, age 2 loves anything with that "cheeky" Thomas the Train. A quality book with great music - we never get tired of the songs.

My two year old grandson is totally in love with trains, especially Thomas and friends. He loves anything with trains. This was a perfect fit for him.

I bought this book for my 9-month old grandson. He is too young to follow the story, but he enjoys the sounds. As his attention span grows, he will be able to follow the story. At that point I'm sure he will enjoy the book even more. I would recommend this book for children ages 3 and under. I am giving it four stars rather than five because I would like to see the written story spread out over more pages with more pictures to help the young child's comprehension.
