Advantages: Wonderful stories

Disadvantages: None

When 'The Railway Series' was written for his children, The Rev W Awdry could never of perceived the classic series of stories he had created. Thomas, the cheeky blue engine, has fascinated boys and girls of all ages for many years, with his appealing grin and mischievous adventures.

These books introduce children to a long-gone age of steam with the engines smiling out of the pages with their faces on the front of each character. The individual engines and for that matter other vehicles develop their own personalities, idiosyncrasies and their place in Sodor history. Gordon, the big engines that pull the express coaches, and Percy, the mischievous tender engine who looks after coaches and trucks, are but a few of these wonderful characters perfectly depicted in these books.

My families' current favourites are Thomas (of course!), Berty the Bus and the Troublesome Trucks, but I am sure you will have a favourite too.

This popular series is timeless and must for all parents.
