Book Reviews of Thomas Goes Fishing (Thomas & Friends) (Step into Reading)
Book Review: Thomas Goes Fishing?!?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a simplified version of the "Thomas Goes Fishing" story and to tell the truth we sort of like this version best as it gets to the point without alot of mucking about and ridicule from the other engines.
The story begins with Thomas watching some children fishing by a bridge. He `peeps' and they wave, and Thomas wistfully declares that he would like to fish too. His driver chuckles at the thought, but every day Thomas sees the children and his desire stays alive.
Nothing happens until the day, Thomas suddenly stops and complains that his boiler hurts. [There is a great picture of the driver peering into Thomas' empty boiler]. Because his boiler is low and there is no water service station available, the driver proceeds to fill Thomas' boiler with water from the river. And everything seems fine until Thomas starts to giggle.
"Hee hee!" said Thomas.
My boiler feels funny."
Well the driver looks into the boiler but this time it not only has water, but two fish swimming about! Thomas' solution is to `peep' and attract his friends, the children. His driver borrows a fishing rod and well... he and Thomas go fishing!
Five Stars. The artwork in this little book is wonderful. The drawings are imaginative and bright. And the simplified story is actually funnier to my two than the longer version. And at this price, a worthy addition to the home sheds' library.
