GOOD NIGHT,THOMAS-GL

I will give this book 3 stars only because my 2 year old loves anything Thomas related however, the only thing that hardly glows in the dark is the moon...seems kind of pointless since you need to sit in the dark to see the glow but then can't read the book. It's also maybe 5 pages in total.

It's past Thomas' bedtime and he can't sleep.
He sees a shooting start and decides to get a closer look.
He asks the owl if he saw the shooting star and the owl says no.
He sees a light in the distance but realizes it Percy's lamp.
Thomas is now sleepy and heads back to his shed.
Good night Thomas.

That's the book.

My son wasn't crazy about this book at first. The story is not all that interesting and when I first tried to get it to glow in the dark it did not work. What we discovered is that you have to have it under a bright light for awhile before you turn out the lights, then it works, if you are done trying to read. My son started to love the book only when he discovered he could turn the lights on and off and see the book glow, frankly I think it was more about having access to the lamp switch than the book--he is 22 months.
Also, I like books that have some sort of point, some bit of education or moral tale slipped in, this book offered nothing. I gave it 3 stars because my son eventually loved it, and that's kind of the point.

I'm generally a positive reviewer, but I cannot believe that this book has a 4-star rating. My son's a big reader so we have a ton of books. I've read many high-quality childrens books and a few lemons. This is quite possibly the worst book that I've ever read, and there isn't even a redeeming lesson learned in the book. ***SPOILER ALERT*** The plot details Thomas's search for a shooting star, and ends with Thomas deciding he's tired and gives up looking. The glow in the dark feature doesn't work because it's a book and the pages are closed thus no light is absorbed by the glowing portions. I gave it two stars for two reasons:

1) My son liked the book the first couple times I read it and then realized how awful it is.
2) If you wanted to take the time to let each page absorb some light your kid might think it's cool.

I highly recommend not wasting your money on this book unless you like spending money on horrible books.

I bought this book for the glow in the dark fun. It does NOT. Dont buy this card board baby book. Im showing the brightest page..not saying much.

The book does have portions that glow in the dark, and it seems to work pretty decent if you hold those pages up to light.
However, the story is terrible. Poorly written, the same exact phrase used over and over again and its ends abruptly with no real resolution. It’s like they took a longer story and just cut it off.

I read reviews of the story being bad and thought, "its a kids book, so how bad could it be?" Well Thomas sees a shooting star, goes out to look for another one, gets tired and goes back to go to sleep. The End. Wow, it is really terrible. Of course, the LO loves Thomas, so it stays, but I have never read a worse story, even for a kids book.

[[VIDEOID:e55901700f92f8927749fa45e704aa4b]] My 2 year old son loves this book. The glow in the dark works a little bit on its own, but if you shine a flashlight on the page for a few seconds, it glows so bright and the moon looks so beautiful! Lile everyone said, the story lacks substance, but ita still been one of my sons favorites for over a year now. Also, My son spilled his milk all over the book and i thought it would be ruined. Nope! Wiped clean and dried good as new

Though any kid will love anything with Thomas and Percy in it, I was very disappointed. This book is far below the quality of other Thomas books. The story is very short; with short sentences. This has to be a knock off. Plus, it doesn't glow in the dark - apparently, you have to hold it in bright lights to get it to glow. It would have been nice to have been prepared for that. I'm going to return it.

My 2 year old son is obsessed with Thomas he was very happy to see he got this Thomas book. Came in less than a week super fast shipping.

My great nephew loved this for his first birthday!!
