My two and one-half year old son delights in lifting the multitude of flaps. The book provides color, letter, and number recognition. He never tires of looking behind the flaps and telling me the existing objects.

My 2 year old daughter loves this one. Yes, a girl. She now can remember what's behind each number and letter.

My kids love this book. I just got it with along with another book called The Little Boy by Rohan Hall. I just ordered a couple more copies for christmas gifts.

I got this book for my nephew for xmas( He lives in Canada) and my sister said he loves it...He like all the pictures and opening all the flaps and stuff..!!! It is all he ever wants to read.. Would recommend this book to any one

We bought this book for our then two-year-old and it is still his favorite of all his books. The flaps are not as sturdy as they could be, he's torn a few and the Elmer's glue thing has been initiated, but all-in-all, it's a fabulous book and teaches counting, the alphabet, objects, shapes, etc. It's just such a cute book and is without all the negative things that the regular Thomas books has (i.e. name calling, put downs, etc.). This really isn't a Thomas book per se, but more of a basic let's go to the train yard and see what's going on type of book. I highly recommend it for the train lover in your family. It's one of the nicest books we own.

This is a very nice book, and my son absolutely loves the first page which shows the roundhouse and each character engine behind a flap. However, we have one complaint: there isn't enough Thomas! Some of the pages seem very disconnected from the Thomas theme. For example: the page showing the inside of Sir Topham Hat's house. I think we own just about every Thomas video on the market and I cannot recall ever seeing Sir Hat's house. My son does not make the connection, and tends to lose interest in the book about halfway through. However, he can spend 1/2 hour on the first page alone, so I guess that makes up for it.

Pages with only one flap on them? Why waste the space? This book has flaps upon flaps upon flaps, so many that sometimes my two-year-old will reach for another one I've missed as I'm starting to turn the page. The last page alone is several minutes worth of flap-flipping fun. Even if your child isn't a huge Thomas fan, this is a fun book with lots of hidden things to find on each page. What's underneath will help teach colors and numbers and letters. And if they like Thomas, than they'll love this book. There's a logical progression from page to page if no actual story, but the fun in this one isn't reading out loud, it's finding flaps, lifting flaps, trying to remember what's under flaps. Highly recommended.

My husband bought this for our son when he was 19 mos or so. He is going to turn 2 soon and he still loves that book. He loves to look under the flaps, and has actually learned a lot from it. He never knew what a kangaroo was until he got this book. I was amazed at his ability to recall what flap the kangaroo was under! It's a bright, colorful book that any toddler will enjoy, especially if they are Thomas fans.

The only downside I would say about this book is that some of the flaps are not as strong as others. My toddler has ripped off a few of them, but mostly because he is so enthusiastic about the book!

This is an excellent book for a Thomas the Tank Engine lover! My 3 year old got this for Christmas and cannot put it down! He wants to read it every night!

...so much that he takes it to bed with him many nights. There are so many different things to look at: letters, numbers, surprises. Each two-page spread is a different scene. We've had it for 5 or 6 months now and he's not tired of it yet!

We gave the book as a gift to a three-year old, and he probably spent more time with the book than any one of the myriad electronic gadgets and oversized presents he got.

This book is a "must-read" for any Thomas fan.
