pickMy 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.
pickHere‘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
pickWhen 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
Little parcels of bookish love going out today - hope they don‘t take too long to arrive!

pickEvery morning we pass the scrapyard on the way to school. As soon as we see it we have to roll the window down so My grandson- who is 4 -can say "Good Morning Cranky!!!" He fully believes that Thomas and Friends all live there. ?? It makes him so happy to greet his friends on the daily. Isn't imagination and belief wonderful ??? #gratitude30 #routine #cranky #thomasthetrain #adayinthelife
