Thomas' Opposites Book (Thomas & Friends) (Pictureback
Learn about opposites with Thomas & Friends!
Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends Percy, James, Cranky the Crane, Harold the Helicopter, Edward, Gordon, and many others help train-loving boys and girls ages 3 to 6 learn all about opposites in this paperback storybook with stickers!
In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small blue wooden train engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W Awdry, made up to accompany the wonderful toy were first published in 1945 and became the basis for the Railway Series, a collection of books about Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends—and the rest is history. Thomas & Friends now make up a big extended family of engines and others on the Island of Sodor. They appear not only in books but also in television shows and movies and as a wide variety of beautifully made toys. The adventures of Thomas and his friends, which are always, ultimately, about friendship, have delighted generations of train-loving boys and girls for more than 70 years and will continue to do so for generations to come.

Thomas and friends take the reader on journey of opposites using each other for examples. toddler and up. a little long but worth it for toddlers.

Got this in a 4-book board book collection for SS's bday. He absolutely adores all of them. And they make for quick bedtime books while also great learning experiences for him. I'm all for them.

This was actually my favorite out of all of the Thomas & Friends books. I really appreciated that this book taught about concepts (in this case: opposites).
As a general rule, the Thomas & Friends series is fine enough, but it just isn’t engaging for me. It feels outdated and I think the illustrations are very repetitive and the trains look rather creepy.
