Thomas Goes To School

Thomas goes to school for a day in this board book made just for Toddlers.

Cameron will soon be starting kindergarten and her whole family is nervous. How will they manage without her when she goes off to school? This sweet and funny story starring a young African-American girl with autism will help all kids-and their families-face the great big wonderful change that is school. Sheletta Brundidge and her husband, Shawn, named their four kids in alphabetical order to keep them straight. (Kidding.) (Sort of.) Andrew, Brandon, Cameron, and Daniel range in age from thirteen to five. The three youngest have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, which turned Sheletta into an advocate for children with special needs and their parents. An Emmy-winning broadcaster, Sheletta hosts the Taking Authority Over Autism podcast. It can be found at SHElettaMakesMeLaugh.com, the multimedia podcast platform she founded. Darcy Bell-Myers has loved to draw since she was a little girl. She lives with her husband and three children, who also love to draw, in Stillwater, Minnesota. As the mom of a child on the autism spectrum, Darcy has experienced the struggles and superpowers of these remarkable kids firsthand. The illustrator of books that include Shiva's Dance; Needles: The First Christmas Tree; Mary Emma, Walk!; Wyatt's Big Day; and Higgledy Piggledy, she's also the author/illustrator of The Animal Babies ABC Book of Ballet. Her books have won honors and awards, including San Diego Book Award Best Published Picture Book, Parents' Choice, Dr. Toy, National Library Association, and IPPY.

Attempting to hurry through his work so that he can give some school children a ride, Thomas the Tank Engine must overcome a series of obstacles.

Tomorrow is Tom's first day at school, and he doesn't know what to expect. Even though Mummy and Daddy tell him that his teacher is nice, even though he has a smart new satchel, and even though Mummy lends him her handkerchief, Tom doesn't feel very brave

Thomas takes in the sights, sounds and smells of the circus.

Here are a trio of Thomas the Tank Engine favorites: Thomas and the Pony Show, Thomas Goes to School, and Henry Goes to the Hospital. Filled with charming art and wonderful adventures, this collectible three-in-one treasury book is sure to become a must for any child's library.

Winter is coming and Thomas, being a small engine, needs to put on his snowplow. Thomas hates his snowplow; he thinks it makes him look funny, and when he has it on, the other, bigger engines tease him. But Thomas saves the day when a big storm comes up and Toby is stuck on his branch line. From the Trade Paperback edition.
