Thomas the Tank Engine: A Day at the Football
The perfect introduction to Thomas the Tank Engine!
This beautifully illustrated picture book finds Thomas and James having a competition during the biggest football match of the year. The two engines play reds vs blues and race to deliver their football fans to the game on time.
A Day at the Football for Thomas is a great way to introduce the little blue engine to children aged 2 and up. Little ones will love meeting classic characters and enjoying the fun down on The Fat Controller’s railway.
Also look out for:
A Visit to London for Thomas the Tank Engine
Three Cheers for Thomas the Tank Engine
The Story of Thomas the Tank Engine
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.

Thomas the Tank Engine and James had a race but made a lot of mistakes and The Fat Controller was very cross. However, when they worked together, they brought the trophy and saved the day.

It would have been better if they hadn’t messed things up in the first place

I like the Tank Engine James. It is red and it has a Number 5 on it. And they made mistakes.

The illustrations in this book are really nice! This book is good for football and train fans and others because there is a lesson to be learnt. Trains shouldn't chase each other because it is not safe! The book felt a bit incomplete but we'll see Thomas and his friends on his next adventure.
