Review:
My 3 year old adores Thomas, so was keen to borrow this book from the library. It's a board book with pages of different sizes (each of the engine faces you can see in the picture is on a different page.
The most useful thing about this book, I think, is that it encourages children to count backwards - a skill that not every child has learnt by the time they start school.
This book has been a hit with both my 3 year old and my 17 month old (who is mostly interested in turning the pages by himself!) A much simpler book than the traditional Thomas books, which makes it a nice break for parents to read.
My rating: 4 out of 5.
