Thomas & Friends Thomas Goes on Holiday Story Book

What you're getting

Get your little one settled in with this Thomas & Friends picture book, where our favourite blue engine takes a proper tour around Britain. He's off to Snowdon, Blackpool Tower, London, and Brighton — the sort of places you'd actually want to visit yourself, if the kids would sit still for five minutes.

The illustrations are lovely, the story's straightforward enough that you won't lose the plot halfway through, and it works just as well for bedtime as it does for a bit of peace and quiet on a rainy afternoon. You'll both learn a thing or two about different corners of the country while Thomas chugs about doing his thing.
