Buy the whole series!
If you have a train-loving tot like I do, you will be thrilled by these books and trains. My 3.5 yo has been Thomas the Tank crazy since before he was two. He got his first Railway Adventure book, The Torpedo Run, last Christmas when he was 2.5. That is the 3rd book in the series, so we have bought the other two since. The series starts with the storey of Tuck and Billy (girl) at their home ...

Howard Pyle: A Record of His Illustrations and Writings

Martino Publishing, 2004

A Lot of Money For Not Very Much
I lost alot of money (half the cost of this book) finding out that this wasn't the book I wanted. You'd think, with all the wonderful illustrations Pyle created over his long and productive life, that there would be books dedicated to reproducing some of his greatest works. Well, let me tell you, this isn't one of them. It's a 242-page letdown. I knew I was taking a chance when I ordered ...

The President Express
This book ties into the audio cassette and model trains of the Great Railway Adventure series. The two main characters are brother and sister Tuck and Billie who help a brave engineer when he is injured. The illustrations are in an older style that is very vivid and detailed. My 5 year old daughter, a train enthusiast, loves all three books in this series.

Comprehensive encyclopedia of all things aviation!
I'm a pilot and was looking for the biggest and most comprehensive history of aviation. I found it in this book! This is the essential aviation book and reference/research tool! Place it on your coffee table -- it will never get put back down! Hardcover, high quality images and articles. Each page looks like a newspaper. It is a tad biased toward Europe, but US aircraft, ever the ...

Stanford University Press, 1999

Bone Age - The definitive reference
This is the definative reference text for assesing the skeletal age of children. The text consists of plain films of the hand and wrist of male and female standards over time. By comparing a radiograph of your patient with the standards, you deterrmine the skeletal age of the child. The paper in this printing is flat, rather than the glossy paper in older printings I was used to from ...

This book is a very good read for young train enthusiasts...
My 4 year old son really enjoys trains, and this book really has kept his attention and interest. It is an ideal book for a pre-schooler or young school-aged child who is interested in trains and has an active imagination. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is a great combination of fantasy and reality. The train world is fascinating for many kids, and we were happy to find a ...
