Thomas Gets Tricked and Other Stories (Thomas & Friends)

My daughter is a huge Thomas fan, and she loves all of the Read To Me paperbacks. Because the books tell stories from the television series, we read these books at times when my daughter is asking to watch Thomas, but he isn't on. My daughter loves how the illustrations are actual still photographs from the television series. However, sometimes the photos shown don't really depict what is going on in the story. There are a lot of words in these books, with small print. These are definitely books little kids would not be able to read on their own, but they can enjoy the pictures on their own. It is wonderful how each book is comprised of 3 or 4 short stories that toddlers have no problem holding their attention through.

It's good for children under 3 or 4 years.

My three-year old son is an avid Thomas fan and this book so closely mimics the videos that sometimes I can hardly tear him away from the book! It is a great "learn to read" book for preschoolers. Even my 16-month old daughter easily recognizes the characters in the books from those that are in the videos. My son also likes the fact that there are several short stories in this book (great for bedtime! ) For any die-hard Thomas fan this book is a keeper!
