Product Description |
|
Thomas wants to race Gordon. Gordon is bigger and stronger and faster than Thomas. Could it be that size, strength, and speed aren't all it takes to win a race? |

Not good for reading aloud |
|
This book might be good for a kid who is learning to read on his or her own, but it is very, very dull to read aloud. Due to the limited vocabulary (50 words), there is little characterization or description-- just a very simplified communication of what is happening in the race between Thomas and Gordon. The illustrations are good, but the vocabulary and concepts are not challenging or imaginative. My son, who is two and a half, loves Thomas enough to request the reading of even this awful book, so I may have to hide it. |

Easy read |

excellent for learning to read! |
|
THis is one of the BEST books for early readers. Many common words are repeated. I have many books from various early reading programs(some have too many difficult words and too many different words) and this is one of the best. The vocabulary is limited, just what a new reader needs. My 4 year old can read many of the words. |

Love Thomas! |
|
Thomas the Tank Engine books and DVD's are the best, and kids love them. At 2 1/2 years old, my grandson is a little frightened of the stories on DVD, I think it's because of the intense facial expressions (I'm sure he'll outgrow it soon), but he loves the books. |

My 2 year old loves it! |

My son loves this book, and constantly brings it to me to read. It's such a simple book, I think he can understand it easily. I'm guessing before too long, he's going to be able to almost read it on his own. I think it's a great book for beginning readers. I'm not very concerned about the message that it sends, I see it as an entertaining Thomas story. I just don't see it as a negative book. |
