A new Thomas & Friends(TM) Little Golden Book autumn adventure!
In this all-new Thomas & Friends(TM) Little Golden Book, the fall
pumpkin crop on the Island of Sodor goes missing! Train-loving boys and
girls ages 4 to 7 will wonder: How will the Pumpkin Festival go on
without them? With nothing to judge, what will happen to the
pumpkin-carving contest? But never fear--Thomas the Tank Engine is here
to help his friends Percy, Edward, Emily, and Henry get the festivities
back on track! It's the perfect way to celebrate the fall season and
Halloween!
In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small blue wooden train
engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the
Reverend W Awdry, made up to accompany the wonderful toy were first
published in 1945 and became the basis for the Railway Series, a
collection of books about Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends--and
the rest is history. Thomas & Friends now make up a big extended family
of engines and others on the Island of Sodor. They appear not only in
books but also in television shows and movies and as a wide variety of
beautifully made toys. The adventures of Thomas and his friends, which
are always, ultimately, about friendship, have delighted generations of
train-loving boys and girls for more than 70 years and will continue to
do so for generations to come.
