THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE’S
BIG YELLOW TREASURY
By Christopher Awdry ~ 1997 ~ 74 Pages
$7.99 List Price
CONDITION
Brand New ~ Hard Cover
If you have kids between 18 months and 7 or 8 years old, this book is a winner!
This collectible treasury book is a trio of favorites:Thomas and the Pony Show, Thomas
Goes to School, and Henry Goes to the Hospital.Filled with charming art and wonderful
adventures, it is a must for any child’s library.Unlike some Thomas ‘classics’, these are
very pleasant and great for small children as well as for early readers, and make for an
indispensible part of bedtime reading. The stories fascinate and are a bit more complete
(i.e. beginning, middle, end) than other Thomas books, and comforting in that there's no
nastiness (no angry trains, derailing tricks, etc. that characterize some of the earlier Thomas
characters).Each simple storyline is pleasant enough and also has bigger and brighter
colorful illustrations than many Thomas books.With 3 stories in 1, you get a good value.

THE OLD STEAM TRAIN

You never read this book once, at least 3 times in one sitting. It’s simple story about the "Boot
Family" who helps the Old Steam Train and the Station to work again.
Pictures on a white background are easy to look at.Drawings are wonderful, bright and very
descriptive.This all assists the child to start reading books and not want to stop.They learn to
read a short simple text located on top of the page (about 5 easy words).Then the book has
longer text on the bottom of the page, which you read to the child.You build up the child’s
confidence and then the child starts to read the whole book with you.It’s great when the child
joins in and gets all excited.Who could ask for more from a book.
The book also has maps of Apple Tree Farm in which you can do your own stories and see
where the story you just read takes place.Also a little yellow duck is on every page for the
child to find.
I have more Thomas The Tank for you.
These are from a smoke-free environment.
