Romeo loves this book

This is a great book for any thomas the train fan. My son loves books and he loves that his favorite character is on the front. He's only 2 years old and knows his numbers 1-10. Im glad this book goes all the way to 20 so he can practic 11-20.

Christmas for my grandkids

I bought this for my grandsons and my daughter in law said they love them. Thomas the Train is my 3 yr. old grandson's favorite. He is very bright, so the 123 book will reinforce what she is already teaching them.

My daughter loves it

Great book. My daughter really loves it, especially because it has Charlie (the purple train) for number 14. Great for her counting skills and has lovely pictures of all the favourite trains.

Great learning material with Thomas & Friends (Count from 1 - 20)

My toddler is a big Thomas & Friends fan. With this book, I am able to keep his attention and he seems to be interested in learning numbers with Thomas. He now knows to count from 1 to 20 thanks to this wonderful book!
We also purchased Thomas ABC book, which also helps him learn his alphabet!

An attractive challenge

It goes up to 20, and my son loves it. He actually seemed addicted to it for a while, so that we all know it front to back now. Once you've read it a few times, you can start to switch things up, and I was surprised how ready he was for that. For example, Edward has 3 cars, and Gordon has 4...the book asks, which is greater? But I try to ask a different question every time: Which is fewer? which has less? Which is on the left? which is faster? He's also been able to recognize most of the teens, which was challenging at first. It's been a great book for us.

Great book!

My son loves this story! We are huge Thomas fans in our house and we had the Thomas ABC book, so I was very happy to see this 123 book. My son was thrilled to match up the set and see all his train friends in another great quality Thomas storybook. I recommend this book for everyone and really any age that wont rip the pages. My son is 8 and still likes to read counting books.

Repetition works, this book does it

My toddler is a Thomas fan, so he asks for this book to read and starts counting the items. The size is great for his little hands and the only CON that I see is that the pages can get very deteriorated with a young kid learning to pass them quickly. Otherwise, we have lots of fun counting with this book. He's 2 years old and counts over 10 already, so this book has helped.

Great Content, Thin Pages

I like the content, it allows my son to go through and count the items on each page (as well as get excited about seeing a different train on each page).

The pages are very thin and will only be able to handle a few dozen read throughs (which if your kids love Thomas you know will be in your future). But for the price, well worth buying.

Great for toddlers who love Thomas!

It's pretty good. Love how it counts all the way to 20, since my 2.5 year old has already mastered counting to 10. I wish the pictures of the items to be counted were much bigger though. The picture of the train is big and takes up 2/3 of the page, but then you are trying to count these teeny tiny seagulls in the corner. But I like it much better than another counting book we have that is too huge with flaps you have to lift up and very cumbersome. This book is a more comfortable size for me to hold while my son is on my lap.

My son can't get enough of Thomas and His Friends. Even thought he has lot of Thomas books, he loved this and carries this everywhere in his backpack. The pictures are very nice and is a good quality book.
