Train books, books for kids, telling time, Engine Ed

Tell the Time with Thomas, by Christopher Awdry and Ken Stott is a cute train book that uses the characters from the Adventures of Thomas the Tank Engine. It's purpose, besides that of entertainment of kids, is to teach time. It has a built in clock that shows up through the cut-out on each page for readers to set each time the page turns and tells a new time on Thomas's schedule. It is a good book for young children just learning to read and tell time (probably through the second grade). My favorite part about the book is the cut-out clock. It makes the book interactive. Nice touch
