Prepare for thrilling excitement, boys and girls aged 3-7 years old. (Plus any pet trains you might have in the family toybox. By all means, gather around the Goodreader in your family.)
Who would have suspected this? Right on the first page, we learn that these full-color books are not just some strange abberation, bearing no real connection to the machine-friendly stories between each pair of covers. To quote the all-knowing anonymous author:
The engines of Sodor love color!
And the Island of Sodor is a very colorful place.
Wow and eureka! Who would have thunk?
BRING ON THE COLORFUL TOUR
Even more thrillingly, we're now given a very colorful tour of the trains. It's almost as though Picasso were narrating the double page spreads: One for his blue period, another pair of pages for his infatuation with green.
Confession: I get the color periods of Picasso all mixed up with his Cubism, which always made me feel weird to look at.
Anyway, back at this story, nothing weird happens. Not at all. Not unless you count a train car carrying five full-feathered peacocks, all chatting away friendly-like, amid their blooming feathers.
As for the culminating page? Of course, I can't tell you. Because that would be spoiling. But let's just say, if you're looking for subtlety, you've got the WRONG series of books.
For what this Thomas book is supposed to be, though? Sure, it's a fine FIVE STARS festivity of traininess.

Ours didn't have the color stickers but that's probably because we got it from the library. Also aesthetically I understand why all these trains have their tenders in the front but it is not correct. Ozman liked it - it was great for him to ID colors and items.

Working on colors with SS. And he is a huge fan of Thomas (who has helped us with sleeping and potty training so far). This was the bathroom book for over a week. Though now he calls some of his colors by the train instead of the color. Yeah...

If your kid likes Thomas and wants to learn the colors then it's the book for you.

Super great book

Straightforward color primer for small children, with the added bonus of using characters they're probably already familiar with. (Not every kids' show has green and purple and pink characters!)
