Thomas' Big Race

Age 18 months-4 years.

When Thomas and Bertie decide to have a race the excitement hits fever pitch as the pair seem to be heading for a photo finish. But Thomas soon pulls out all the stops, and before long it is clear who the fastest little engine really is...

A solid, glossy board book--ideal for little hands--filled with bright illustrations and easy-to-follow text. Ideal for reading aloud to tiny tots, who will love the noisy little button on each page that makes the sound of Thomas puffing steam. --Susan Harrison

A good early Thomas book - highly recommended - Rated
This book soon became a favourite with our 20 month old son who is very into books and currently especially Thomas books. He would ask for 'Bertie' since this is about how Bertie the bus challenges Thomas to a race.

Although he enjoyed the sound button, and this did not last many days of rough toddler attention, there is plenty of opportunity in the text for making your own noises.

Excellent - Rated
I think that this is a very enjoyable book, especially for the younger readers, they will love constantley pushing the buttons on every page, creating amazing sounds and following the great storyline.
