5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, easy read

It is a cute, short book perfect for emerging readers. As with all "Step 1" books, it is not text-heavy and is simple to follow. The words are not all easy phonetic words though so it is better for kids who are able to use more complex deciphering. The story features the Thomas taking a crazy ride thanks to an accidental coupling with a jet engine and he quickly (pun intended) becomes the fastest train in Sodor. What fun! Besides, who doesn't love Thomas?? :)
