Welcome to Litsy!

My mom kept a diary when I was very young and somewhere in there - too long ago to mention - she wrote down the exact day I first joined the local library. She would sit with me on the swing in the garden and read me stories for hour after glorious hour. And what did I want? I wanted trains. Always trains. Anything about trains. Seeing this cover takes me right back. I loved these books the best.

Here‘s where the tales really take off! With the Thomas stories, there‘s a valuable lesson to be learned at the end of the story. Thomas is so like a small child. He‘s naughty, sprightly, fun, silly, but always teachable. 😉 I loved watching Shining Time Station when I was kid and this was a fun bit of nostalgia. 38/1,001 #1001ChildrensBooks
