Adapting W. Awdry's classic tales of Thomas the Tank Engine, these stories find the trains learning important lessons about shyness, independence, and making friends—issues that are likely to resonate with readers 4 to 7. Housed in a slipcase, the six board books here include Thomas and Scruff, Edward the Hero, Thomas's Crazy Day, Big Belle, James to the Rescue, and Thomas and the Shortcut.
