This book was touted as new. Shipping was as much as the book itself. Book came in the mail. edges are worn and it has the ‘read” look to it. I am VERY disappointed a sthis was for a birthday present.

Bought for 2 grandsons who are crazy about Thomas. It was a big hit
Rating: 5 / 5
My God son’s wife is a pre school teacher. When I asked what I could get her son for his 3rd birthday she suggested this book. He absolutely loves it. I think that Thomas is a wonderful character for pre school children! It teaches good morals & values.
Rating: 5 / 5
I am buying this book for my son and daughter (3 and 5 respectively). They both love Thomas and my son particularly loves this book. He can hardly wait to get to the end where Sir Topham Hatt and the gang yell “Surprise!”
He even presses his face against Thomas’ on the last page and quietly whispers “Happy Birthday” to his favorite steamie.
A wonderful addition to any Thomas fan’s library.

“Thomas does not want to work today. It is his birthday! He wants a party, with presents, balloons, and silly hats. But Sir Topham Hatt says, `Henry is busy. Gordon is busy. James is busy. You must work today, Thomas.’” -From the book
Even though it is his birthday, Thomas is sent out to work on the railway. He works hard all day long, and is sad that no one wishes him a happy birthday. Has everyone forgotten?
At the end of the day, a dejected Thomas chugs into the darkened shed. “Some birthday”, he thinks.
Just then the lights go on-and Thomas is given a wonderful surprise from the other engines, railway employees, and Sir Topham Hatt!
Happy Birthday, Thomas! is a Step 1 “Step into Reading” book that is geared to children in Preschool to Grade 1. The type is large, the sentences are short, and the illustrations are bright and colorful. There are no insults traded among the trains in this book, unlike the Thomas the Tank Engine stories geared to older children.
