While the story is so-so, the fact that it has magnets is a definite plus! Keeps the kids busy in the car, at home, anywhere and the magnets store nicely on the side of the book!

We got this before a flight and it has been a great activity book for my 2 year old. He loves putting the magnets on the tracks and then saying 'goodnight' to them each evening as we put them back in the case. It's more activity than book. He loves it! Not a day goes by when we don't read it at least once.

Peep, peep! Thomas and his friends are hard at work. All the people on the Island of Sodor depend on Sir Topham Hatt's railway every day, and they are always glad to see one of the engines coming down the line. Now, children can help, too, by creating their own scenes and stories with 9 fun magnets: Thomas, Gordon, Henry, James, Percy, Mavis, Harold the Helicopter, and two Troublesome Trucks.

There are 6 colorful, magnetized, glossy pages to the board book. The story features short sentences, and children are given plenty of space to arrange the magnets on the story boards. There's a plastic sleeve on the side that holds the magnets when not in use. The closed book holds it shut, so it's unlikely for the magnets to spill out when handled by children.

My son has gotten a lot of mileage out of the magnets, even using them on the fridge and other magnetic surfaces.

This is a great and QUIET toy that keeps my son entertained for quite a while considering he is only 2 yrs old. He only gets to play with it on Sundays during church which helps the book keep its "novelty" and keeps my son from getting bored during the hour that he needs to sit still. We like it and highly recommend it.

Excellent book for "quiet" play. I bought this book for my sons (ages 2 & 3) to play with during times we needed to play quietly. I keep it in the diaper bag to pull out at restaurants, doctors visits, church, etc. It is well made- thick magnets and pages. Very durable!

There are only a couple pages and it is smaller than I expected, but I'm sure my nephew will still love it.

My boy, who is almost 2.5 years old, is a Thomas fan. He was really thrilled when he received the book. The story is not very attractive and he did not ask for the story. The magnets are very attractive. He asked for the book from time to time.

I'm NOT happy with this purchase. I paid way too much for a book with 4 out of 9 magnets missing.
I don't even have a Thomas magnet and that's my sons favorite. I'm not happy at all. Otherwise, the book is cute and a good concept, I would absolutely LOVE this had all or even MOST of the magnets been there. I'm missing more magnets than the amount I have.

I bought this for my 2 year old nephew for Christmas. He loves Thomas the Train and didn't even look at it. The magnets don't really stick to the book and it's about 3 or 4 pages long with no real story. My nephew would rather play with his brothers' gifts and it makes me feel badly that this was such a poor gift.

I ordered two of these for my grandsons, who love Thomas. They are very cute and matched the description. I was very happy with the purchase.
