I found this at a used book sale at the library. It is a surprisingly durable board book considering its moving parts. I've read this with many of the children I've worked with and they have all enjoyed the fun pop up action.
To be frank, I don't really like Thomas, but this book is so entertaining, you can't help but love it. A great way to make reading even more fun and engaging for young children. The narration is very simple, but ties in nicely with all of the pop ups.
An awesome idea for a book that was well executed.
