RIide along with Thomas and meet all the engines and people that make the Island of Sodor such a fun and exciting place. This coloring and activity book features crayons and stickers to color.In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small, blue, wooden engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W. Awdry, made up to accompany this wonderful toy, were first published in 1945. He continued to create new adventures and characters until 1972, when he retired from writing. He died in 1997 at age 85.

"The writing of these stories, strung together as chapters but really imagined independently, took me over. I couldn't wait to sit at my computer each night, write, and read the results to Sue, my wife (I should say "Grandma Sue"). I . . . realized it would make sense to complete . . . as a book that I could give to [my grandson] Alexander. . . . I was successful in doing that. The stories are about him and me, but they are also about myself as a child, and my past and present family, as seen through my eyes. They are a blend of invention and recalled facts. The decision to make Kenny and Benny eight, going on nine, was spontaneous, and . . . a good idea . . . because . . . older children might have more opportunities for adventure than younger children."--Howard Lester Schwartz
