Listen with Me Book & CD
Filled with gentle humor and lots of photos, here are three fun new stories straight from Thomas' newest video. First, Thomas saves the day when the medals for the children’s Sports Day are left in the station. Next, Skarloey must help Sir Topham Hatt when he is carried off by a runaway balloon. And finally, Gordon wants nothing to do with the big engine decorating contest, but a large banner might alter his plans.
- Hooray for Thomas
- The Grand Opening
- Best Dressed Engine
Based on The Railway Series by Rev. W.V. Awdry. According to Wikipedia,
Thomas the Tank Engine is a fictional anthropomorphic steam locomotive created by the Rev. W. V. Awdry in his Railway Series books, made into the British children's television series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (later simplified to Thomas and Friends) and its American spin-off Shining Time Station. Thomas is a tank engine: a steam locomotive with large rectangular tanks to carry water, on each side of his boiler. He is based on the E2 Class 0-6-0T locomotives built for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway between 1913 and 1916.
In the early television series of Thomas the Tank Engine, Thomas's personality was similar to that used in the books. From Season 6 onwards his character was modified: he became less cheeky and pompous. Thomas is now kind to other characters in the series, and always ready to stand up for a friend in need. He is always eager to prove himself, and has had many exciting adventures as a result. He was not cheeky again until Calling All Engines or The Great Discovery.
He no longer appears to be limited to his branch line and now seems to work all over Sodor. These changes in his personality and duties are a result of his "star" status. He is the most popular character in the series, and therefore he has the largest number of appearances.
