Review:
This book follows Thomas the train while he goes about a typical day. We visit all his friends who are hidden by different objects. In order to see who was behind the flap, the reader needs to open it.
This book is fantasy because trains cannot talk! This book following Thomas the Train depicts trains in a simple manner. Rather than showing a complicated drawing with a driver and all the mechanics of the train the train is one single object and can talk taking on human words to express his troubles and thoughts.
Use:
1) This is a very good intro into trains and other vehicles and what they do
2) Children can interact with the book by opening the flaps, engaging the readers, and spiking their show more interests

W. V. Awdry was born on June 15, 1911 in Hampshire, England. He was ordained as a minister in 1936 and served as a vicar in many parishes. Fascinated by trains since childhood, Awdry told train stories to his young son, Christopher. When his son quickly pointed out discrepancies between his retelling of these stories, Awdry realized the importance show more of writing them down. His wife submitted some of the stories to a literary agent, and the hugely popular Thomas the Tank Engine series was created. Between 1945 and 1972, Awdry wrote twenty-six Thomas the Tank Engine stories, beginning with The Three Railway Engines and ending with Tramway Engines. His books have sold over 50 million copies and spawned an Emmy-winning PBS animated series. Fortunately for fans of the books, Awdry's son Christopher resumed writing the series. W. V. Awdry died on March 21, 1997. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
