Great book for young Thomas fans

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2013

My 3yr old son loves Thomas the train, and plays with trains, stickers, coloring books, etc. This is a great edition to his bed time reading and includes the shortened story of Hiro, which he has watched many times. He likes that it includes so many of the trains in it, especially Thomas, Hiro and Spencer. He loves the book so much he asks to have it read to him in the morning as well and then again a few times during the day. Whenever you have a child choosing to have a sotry read to them over playing with his toys, you know its a great book. Fully recommend to add it to your collection.

This product arrived when and where it was supposed to, and in the condition in which it was represented to be.

My son is crazy for anything Sodor-related and is in first grade in a Japanese-immersion school, so "Hero of the Rails" was a good book for us to read together. Also, it complimented nicely the "Hiro" model train that accompanied it.

great book!!! My child became obsessed with Hiro because of this book. Good story, very much like the film. My son asks me to read this story all the time.

I purchased this for my two and a half year old so that he would have a reference prior to seeing the Hero of the Rails video. It paralells it very well and he was very excited to see it once he really understood the story. It has just enough imaginary drama to keep it interesting.

Nice story about Thomas helping out an old engine. It's nice that they connected a steam engine to Japanese roots.

Good book for a thomas fan

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2013

I have read this book on different devices and did not have a problem. My son likes to double click on the pictures (which appears full page) to see it much closer. Story was kept short and sweet.
