Fans of Thomas and friends will be comfortable with the bold, bright images that perfectly replicate the characters they know so well from books and TV.

Parents will love the fact that as children read on, using the "magic pen", they will build basic skills: story comprehension, vocabulary, character comprehension, social skills and manners, logic and deductive reasoning. Thomas: The Really Useful Engine will entertain pre-school children, and is designed, with the LeapPad, to build reading confidence. Read it together, and enjoy! --Susan Naylor
