5.0 out of 5 stars My 3 Year Old LOVES it!, May 16, 2000

By	"kathyinca" (California) - See all my reviews

My boy loves Thomas, and the two "big treasury" books are now an indispensible part of our bedtime reading. We have many Thomas books, but these just fascinate him - they are a bit more complete as stories (i.e. beginning, middle, end) than some of the other Thomas books, and comforting in that there's no nastiness, as in some of the early Thomas books (no angry trains, derailing tricks, etc.) I recommend these books highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Thomas books - particularly for young kids, August 20, 2002

By	B. Rutledge "sjsdad" (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My older son is a huge Thomas fan, and had me read him "Thomas the Tank Engine's Big Yellow Treasury" every night for weeks when I bought it. My second son (2 years old) also now adores this book and never tires of the story. Unlike some of the "classic" stories, these are very pleasant and great for small children, as well as for early readers. The books also have bigger and brighter illustrations than many Thomas books, and with 3 stories in one book you get good value. If you have kids between 18 months and 7 or 8 years old, this book is a winner (all of this applies equally to the Big Blue Treasury - the two favorites out of the 30 plus Thomas books the boys have).

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant, noncontroversial and fun., July 21, 2000

By	Dr. Anil De Silva (San Rafael, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 3 year old boy likes this book quite a bit. He likes to have all three stories read to him before he goes to sleep each night. The stories are pleasant enough and the illustrations are colorful. I find the book a little bland but the noncontroversial nature of the characters (there's none of the meanness that characterizes some of the Thomas characters) and the simple storylines makes for good bedtime reading.
