So damn cute.

An immensely enjoy addition to The Railway Series with some nice lessons about respecting your elders and being patient. I loved the little engines.

I like this book because it is all about Narrow Gauge Engines like Sir Handel, Skarloey, Rheneas and Peter Sam.

I am reading through these and then passing them along to my daughter for her to enjoy with my grandson. I used to watch the PBS shows (or listen to them) when my children were young, but I never read the books, so this is grandma finally indulging herself after all these years. Perhaps I will hang on to a few and read them with my grandson before passing them along! 😉 They are just such precious little stories.

I usually get annoyed when the episodes/books focus on these randos, but the story was quite good.

One of my favorite Railway Series books. The first time we're shown a part of Sodor that isn't the North Western Railway. Memorable characters too.
