Thomas the Tank Engine Story Collection (The Railway Series)

Random House Books for Young Readers, 2005
Big Red is worth it!
In our home, we call this, Big Red. (Under dust jacket, it's red) It is held together with tape to help its broken spine. Good sign for a book. My boy loves it, need I say more?

My Big Train Book (My Big Board Books)
Roger Priddy
Priddy Books, 2003
Roger Priddy Books are wonderful!
My baby granddaughter loves all of Roger Priddy's books. They are big colorful realistic pictures that catch her attention and keeps her occupied for minutes at a time. The thick pages allow her little fingers to grasp the corners and turn the pages all on her own.
