Review: Great book - Bought for 2 children when they were 3 and 5. Both had seen the film and one the stage production and they boh like it being read to them. It's a good progression book as in time I am hoping they will both read it on their own whilst learning to read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My 6 year old daughter loves it
*by S***S on 8 December 2012*

My primary school teacher Miss Stevens read this to us one chapter at a time 40 years ago. I bought this book to read to my kids because I remembered how much we enjoyed it. I didn't expect I'd have to explain what railways and petticoats were, and why the train needed coal! But she is just as taken with the story as I was, and couldn't wait for the next chapter.
