  Thomas wants to go fishing but instead the children go fishing IN Thomas's tank. Truly a surprise ending.

  Enjoyable early reader with a simple plot.
  
  Miss 4 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

  My son is needing to read AR books and enjoys reading to me.
  Thomas really wants to fish after he spots the children fishing. He gets his wish when his boiler runs out water and the driver fills it with water from the river. When something tickles him, they find out there's fish in his boiler, so he gets to be 'fished' and that makes him very happy.

  Brought home because SS loves Thomas. It ended up becoming one of the books he likes to read as he is learning to sit on the toilet. He really loves this one. Cute smiles when they find the fish inside.

  Thomas's wish to fish comes true in a very silly way!

  Pretty standard episode-based book. But it is a good episode!

  This was the other series my son could read on his own as well as The Dick and Jane series. Can't say enough about the Step Into Reading series. It was a system that helped him to read independently. This was an immense accomplishment. Whenever he finished a page on his own he felt great. The text was large and he could do it and be interested in it. Because I knew that he already loved Thomas the Train I knew I could repeatedly find dependable story lines inside the system; and there were so many stories with Thomas that kept him reading. We stuck with the Step Into Reading series between K - 3rd grade now, and it is dependably a strong reading series. I find great books such as The Wizard of Oz and Black Beauty. He can continue to read-up and increase his skill levels. I don't hear any complaints. He reads and reads and his interests continue to grow.

  This is a level 1 book and I think that rating is accurate as this book as a small sentence or two very short sentences per page. It's on the higher level 1 end and not for the very beginning readers.
  
  In this Thomas book, and his driver cross a bridge and below two children are fishing every day. Thomas watching them every day and says "I would like to fish" his driver thinks that is funny a train engine fishing. Thomas doesn't feel very well and his engine needs water. So his driver fills him up from the river makes him feel much better. Then Thomas starts giggling what is making him feel funny? Thomas in deed went fishing and caught a few! Cute Thomas the Tank Engine story for those who love him but also those that enjoy the sport of fishing as well.

  Synopsis: "Thomas often sees his young friends standing by the stream fishing.
  It looks like so much fun that Thomas wants to go fishing too. One day, he runs out of steam and his driver fills his boiler from the stream. And soon, Thomas’ boiler is what the driver is fishing in!"
  
  My Review: Munchkin really love Thomas the Train and I figured he would like this one, especially since we will be taking him fishing this summer. He did seem to enjoy the simple story. The only draw back for me is the fact that I could always count on Thomas for a good lesson or some kind of moral to the story but this one didn't have anything.

  Thomas stops by kids everyday on a bridge. He loves the kids. He watched them go fishing in the pond. The children always waved. Thomas always went "peep, peep" when he passed them. Thomas always wished to fish. One day Thomas stopped. He said his boiler hurt. The driver filled his boiler with water from the river. One day Thomas's boiiler felt funny. There were fish in it! Te driver fished in Thomas. he he he he :)

  Adapted from an original Rev W Awdry story this book tells the story of Thomas who runs out of water as he's crossing over a bridge with fishermen below. It contains 4 puzzles that fit inside the book and illustrate the story. The puzzles are double-sided and the backsides all fit together to form a larger picture.

  I liked it because it was kind of a silly book. Because Thomas wanted to fish, and his driver said, "an engine fishing?" and he laughed. When the driver put water into Thomas's tank, it was not empty anymore, it was full. And there were fish, too. And the driver fished in Thomas and the kids fished in the water. - Felicity

  FINALLY, a Thomas book that isn't about one of the engines being a total douche.
  This is a really cute, short, and easy-to-read story (with NO moral-thank dog) about fish ending up in Thomas's boiler.

  This is one of my 3 1/2 year old son's favorite Thomas stories, so getting it in the Step Into Reading format was great since he's starting to get interested in learning to read for himself. It's easy for me to point at the words as I read and sometimes he wants to spell them out for me.

  Humorous book just suspend your reality a bit.... Would the fish really be alive is the boiler of a steam engine after it's been puffing down the tracks for a bit?!? Hmmmmm This will make for a good early reader for H.

  I find it rather strange that the engineer puts a bucket of water into Thomas' boiler and doesn't notice that two fish are swimming around in it. Completely unrealistic!
