Summary: If my son didn't really like it, I'd give it 0 stars
Comment: I have to agree with the previous reviewer who said this book is disjointed. I cringe everytime I read it to my son (2 yrs). He likes it so we read it most nights before bed.
We've never seen the movie (where presumably the gaps, which account for ~50% of the book, are filled in). But, having read the book, I never want to see the movie.
Buy this book only if you want to suffer through countless nights reading about how Mr. Conductor gets thrown from Diesel 10's claw to the base of a windmill where there just happens to be a clue to the source of the gold dust. And that's about as much context as the book itself gives you.

Summary: Great Coloring Book: For Girls and Boys
Comment: My son and daughter went to see the movie. This coloring book gave them a chance to remember and retell the movies' events. They were so excited about the book, I had to order another one!
Rating: 2
Summary: Disjointed jumble of plot points
Comment: This book is a telegraphic, disjointed list of things that happen in the movie. There is no real narrative to speak of. I got the book for my 3-year-old before we saw the movie, and until then, it made no sense. Now, it is useful as a way of warding off having to go see that dreadfully acted movie again. As much as my son loves (and I appreciate) Thomas the Tank Engine, this book does a disservice to the characters and themes of the original series. The other two movie-based softcover books (one about Diesel 10 and one about Lady) are somewhat better -- they don't have the lessons of the original series, but at least they make some sense on their own.
