Track Stars!

Thomas and Friends

by W. Awdry

Here are three fun stories new to the Pictureback and CD format. First, Thomas likes to go fast, but when he has to deliver a load of eggs, he must go slow, or the eggs will be scrambled! Next, Emily's new route takes her past the Black Loch, which she hears is the home of a monster! And finally, Percy believes a rumor that he is to be sent to the scrap yard and decides to run away. Filled with gentle humor and lots of photo illustrations, these tales are perfectly suited to Michael Brandon's storytelling on this brand-new CD.

About the author

Wilbert Vere Awdry, OBE, better known as the Rev. W. Awdry, was an English clergyman, railway enthusiast and children's author, and creator of Thomas the Tank Engine, who starred in Awdry's acclaimed Railway Series.

The characters that would make Awdry famous, and the first stories featuring them, were invented in 1943 to amuse his son Christopher during a bout of measles. The first book (The Three Railway Engines) was published in 1945, and by the time Awdry stopped writing in 1972, The Railway Series numbered 26 books. Christopher subsequently added further books to the series.

Good

[Rosa Cline · Rating 4 out of 5]

We love Thomas books and these type of books usually have a variety of 'friends' so it's not just one primary engine that is highlighted. This book has three stories and all three have a nice variety of engines in them getting into different adventures. Very nice book.

Thomas breaks some of Farmer McColl's eggs while delivering them. Emily finds out what the black loch monster really is. Percy is worried about getting scrapped for being late.
