Really Useful Stories for Growing Up (Thomas & Friends) by Nancy Parent
Preschool boys and girls will learn lessons about growing up with Thomas and his engine friends in this all-new hardcover storybook collection! Train-loving boys and girls ages 2-5 will love to learn important lessons about growing up with Thomas the Tank Engine in this 96-page beautifully illustrated hardcover collection featuring four stories about feelings, being kind, respecting rules, and making friends. In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small blue wooden train engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W Awdry, made up to accompany the wonderful toy were first published in 1945 and became the basis for the Railway Series, a collection of books about Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends--and the rest is history. Thomas & Friends(TM) are now a big extended family of engines and others on the Island of Sodor. They appear not only in books but also in television shows and movies, and as a wide variety of beautifully made toys. The adventures of Thomas and his friends, which are always, ultimately, about friendship, have delighted generations of train-loving boys and girls for more than 70 years and will continue to do so for generations to come.Nancy Parent has worked with Disney Publishing Worldwide for the past twenty years, editing and writing hundreds of books for the MouseWorks and Disney Press vertical brands, as well as Disney worldwide publishers.
