By Thomas & Friends

Peep! Peep! All aboard with Thomas & Friends in this All Engines Go magnetic adventure!

All Engines Go! Toddlers can take a journey across the Island of Sodor and meet all the trains in this fun, magnetic book with 5 great scenes. Start the day at the Engine Sheds, visit the Farm and race down Lookout Mountain. Then create adventures of your own with the magnetic characters of Thomas, Percy, Kana, Nia, Diesel, Bruno, Sandy and Carly. Each of the 8 engines is a magnetic play piece that can be used again and again.

The illustration on the front cover shows the magnets that are stored inside the book. This removes the need for a plastic holder on the front cover.

Thomas has been teaching children lessons about life and friendship for over 75 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 and appeals to young fans of Paw Patrol, Fireman Sam and Peppa Pig.

The Thomas the Tank engines stories were created by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry, who was born in Hampshire in 1911. He grew up close to the railway and was convinced that the steam engines all had different personalities. He used to imagine conversations between them. Later when he was grown up and his son Christopher became ill with measles, Wilbert told stories Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends to entertain him. Christopher asked for more and more stories and Wilbert began writing them down. The first of the Railway Series books was published in 1945, and Awdry wrote 26 Railway books in total before his son, Christopher, took over the series. There have since been multiple, hugely popular, Thomas the Tank Engine TV series and films and books.
