I was reminded of this book when reading The Museum of Words . I didn‘t know we had a copy. I mentioned it and it appeared from the depths of my partners study. The joy of this book for me are the illustrations. A story in themselves without the words. Not a childhood memory for me but I think it might be for lots of people as it was for Georgia Blain.

A fun read with Beatrix. This is a quaint collection of stories of the wolf trying to capture and eat Polly, who continues to outsmart him. It draws on many traditional wolf fairy tales and is a good choice for a child with a fear of wolves. Beatrix laughed quite a lot.
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
When his son was ill, Awdry told him stories. His wife saw something in it and soon, the anthropomorphized trains we all know and love were born! This is about Edward, Gordon, and Henry and they each have their own distinct personality. 37/1,001 #1001ChildrensBooks
