Did you know that Thomas the Tank Engine was created by a father for his son 67 years ago and today is enjoyed by families in more than 200 territories and in 31 languages?
My toddler is a huge Thomas fan so was ecstatic to be sent the latest Thomas & Friends DVD, ‘Go Go Thomas!’, which is on sale from Monday 11th March (RRP £12.99).
The format is similar to the Thomas in Charge DVD we reviewed previously and Go Go Thomas! features 5 episodes interspersed with the adventures of Mr Perkins. My toddler adores Mr Perkins as much as he does the episodes and has enjoyed watching the entire DVD from beginning to end, which keeps him occupied for nearly an hour! There are also some great bonus features including puzzles and two songs to sing along with.
Thomas and his friends are charged up and ready to Go, Go! Thomas shows Gordon that being quick is as useful as being strong, while Flynn, the fire engine, learns to put his pride aside and race to the rescue. Thomas causes some trouble on the tracks trying to be a model engine for a new photographer, while Spencer’s on the move, ignoring warnings about electric engine Stafford’s battery. Thomas pumps his pistons to Misty Island to help fix Ol’ Wheezy. Will the number one blue engine be on track and on time? Ready, Set… Go, Go Thomas!
My toddler has a better DVD collection than I do and this will be a firm favourite for many years. Recommended for all Thomas fans.
