The Snowy Special

The perfect introduction to Thomas the Tank Engine! This is a story about Henry, who thought he couldn't manage without his lucky trucks. One snowy day, when The Fat Controller asked him to pull the Snowy Special - a train full of presents for the children - Henry thought his luck would run out. But as we all know, Really Useful Engines don't need trucks to be lucky. Thomas & Friends is a great way to pass on the tradition of Thomas to early readers. Children aged 2 and up will love meeting classic characters such as Percy, James, Gordon, and Toby down on The Fat Controller's railway. Thomas has been teaching children lessons about life and friendship for over 70 years. He ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage.
