 A poor example for children June 19, 2006
K. Normand (Lafayette, LA - The Heart of Cajun Country)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is a real shame. So many kids, including my own, love Thomas and his friends. But this book teaches nothing but how to lie, laugh at another's shortcomings, and foul language. One engine tells the train cars to "shut up!" because they are picking on another engine. That is supposed to teach a moral lesson to my children? I don't think so.
Another disappointing note: my son received the engine named "Diesel" as a gift. This book makes him out to be a bad engine. How is my son supposed to feel about his gift now?
I do not recommend this book to anyone.
 My son loves this one! November 11, 2000
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
My son loves this story. We have the story itself recorded on tape so that he can just play it... otherwise we'd lose our voices reading it over and over. With bright pictures and an articulate story (with a moral: the honest hard working engine wins out in the end over the wicked arrogant one), this book others in the series have our son completely charmed. It keeps him busy for hours!
The PEW book of all time! August 2, 1998
13 out of 27 found this review helpful
My son makes me read this book every night before and it is TORTURE! Every character is mean and nasty, the language is very British and obtuse, and frequently the stories just don't make sense. I moan every time Jackson asks for this book, and I call it 'the PEW book of all time.'
