Books with title Three Cheers for Tacky

The perfect introduction to Thomas the Tank Engine! This beautifully illustrated picture book finds Thomas in crisis when he finds himself going slower and slower. He is delighted when the Fat Controller tells him that he needs new wheels. He can't wait to puff around Sodor showing them off. Three Cheers for Thomas is a great way to introduce the little blue engine to children aged 2 and up. Little ones will love meeting classic characters such as Percy, James, Gordon, and Toby down on The Fat Controller's railway. Also look out for: A Visit to London for Thomas the Tank Engine. Thomas has been teaching children lessons about life and friendship for over 70 years. He ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage.

One, two, three four, it's Ostrich that we're rooting for! Sad little Ostrich just wants to hide his head in the sand. It seems EVERYONE he meets is older, bigger, cleverer, stronger, and faster than he is. Lion is four years old (not three and three quarters); Giraffe can reach high up in the trees; Owl thinks he can add two and two; Elephant lifts loads of logs; and Cheetah whizzes by, leaving the others in the dust. But, thanks to his friends, Ostrich finally realizes that there's something very special about him--and it's the most important quality of all. Lively and humorous drawings capture Ostrich's kindness to all creatures--and give children a sweet, appealing message about what really matters in a person.
