Henry the Green Engine (The Railway Series, #6) Reviews
-
Although these stories are about little engines and their antics, they teach young children how to deal with each other and similar situations they are likely to encounter.
Here Henry struggles with sluggish feelings and low energy (due to poor coal/diet) an accident not his fault, difficulties with his buddies and bullying from strangers; all things children experience at one time or another. Reading these books are entertaining but also gently eduational. -
Poor Henry, you can't help but feel sorry for him. He tries very hard but its almost like he was made wrong. I'm pleased that he does eventually get to be a Really Useful Engine and our favourite story was Henry's Sneeze.

This book was read to me when I was a little boy, it brings back child hood memorys. I still remember The Flying Kipper today.

“Henry the Green Engine”
After not feeling well Henry gets back into doing what he does best! -
A very nice addition to the series. I feel bad for poor Henry, him being made out to seem like he doesn’t belong or cannot be himself. It was nice seeing him find his place and getting some appreciation and attention!
This isn’t one of the very best in the series, but it continues to establish its characters well enough and it’s still a good Henry story. The Percy one was okay. -
Notes:
we read these books so many times
the classic series is the only way to enjoy Thomas
