Time to Share!

The brand-new Thomas & Friends Really Useful Stories series focuses on gentle life lessons about issues that all children deal with: sharing, taking turns, respecting rules, being kind to others, bullying, fear of the dark, and more.

This attractive hardcover storybook about learning to share is the first in a new series titled Thomas & Friends: Really Useful Stories. Everyone knows that Thomas the Tank Engine's friend Percy doesn't have passenger coaches. So when Percy is asked to take Sodor's mailmen to an important meeting, a reluctant Thomas must learn to share some of his train cars. The story becomes a gentle lesson about sharing graciously with others. Boys and girls ages 3 to 7 will enjoy these Thomas & Friends adventures while learning some of life's most important lessons. A letter to parents and caregivers with suggestions for talking about the gentle lesson is included in the book.
