About the Author

In 1944, a country vicar, the Reverend W Awdry, wrote the stories he had been telling his two young sons about a group of engines with very recognizable personalities. In 1945, the first book featuring Thomas and the other Really Useful Engines was published, and in the 60 years since, the tales of these friendly engines have become beloved classics around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thomas is So Busy, from Morning to Night, March 10, 2005
This review is from: Thomas and Friends: On the Track... There and Back (Thomas & Friends) (Board book)
It's a quick `good morning Percy' and Thomas is off in this two-part story about his busy day. In the first part of the boardbook ("On the track...") Thomas scurries about with his coaches, Annie and Clarabel, until it is time to go to the quarry where he helps Mavis and Toby with some Troublesome Trucks.

In the second book ("There and back again") Thomas is off to the mountains and down to the harbor hauling freight. Along the way he sees Bertie and Cranky (who is in the background). Then, errands done, we are told Thomas is off to get a bath before going to bed. The last two pages show James and Thomas falling asleep in the sheds.

Though the book is oddly divided into two different stories (you have to turn the book over to continue with the second book) it only slows down the read slightly. With colorful, friendly pictures this a good choice for younger Thomas enthusiasts (baby to 2½ years of age).

Note: for slightly older Thomas fans the "Railway Series Boxed Set (Railway)" collection is nice. Railway Series Boxed Set
