A Delightful Book (Be Sure To Buy The Aquarium Cars, Too!)

"When Thomas arrived at the docks, the other engines were bustling around. Everyone was working hard to prepare for the Ocean Life Exhibit, which was coming to the Island of Sodor. " -From the book

Ocean plants arrive on the docks to be put in the fish tanks to make the fish feel at home. Thomas notes the excitement, and decides to look around. He was amazed that several of the cars were like none he had seen before: they were clear, full of water-and held an octopus and a shark! Thomas looks for his friend Salty and asks where the special cars are going. Meanwhile, Harvey was crossing the tracks with a fragile load of empty fish tanks. Percy was in a hurry, and noticed a huge shark looking at him from one of the tanks. He was so surprised and scared that he ended up crashing into Henry, who crashed into Harvey-yikes! What a mess!

There's a neat set of trains that corresponds to this book-the aquarium cars. I highly recommend those, especially as companion toys to go along with this book. Unlike some of the Thomas the Tank Engine stories, this delightfully illustrated book doesn't promote competition, name-calling, or rude behavior.

thomas is the best!!

to say the least we have every thomas book in exsistance, my four year old got this for christmas and i've read it over 30 times allready

not only is reading great for your childrens minds, thomas stories usually have a moral and a good clean storyline

A great book!!

My 3 year old son loves Thomas the train, and this is his favorite book. He loves the pictures and the story. We have other Thomas books, but he prefers this book over the others.

The best Thomas Story books I've seen so far

My 3 year old son is a big fan of Thomas and Friends. This was one of the first books I bought for him. Since this book, I bought another one ("Cow on a Line") and the second book does not even come close to this one. "Down at the Docks" is illustrated not with photos but with drawings - and I think the drawings are far more effective in telling the story than the photos. "Down at the Docks" has a story line that is more plausible, and complete, than other books I've seen so far. It is my son's favorite book. The books that have more than one story (this one does not) seem to sell short on plot, and explanation of the story.
