Title: Hadn't thought about the tone of the stories.......
Product review: Others in this post are right. While the variety of the stories is refreshing, and you learn some history of the engines, the stories are about misbehaving and mischief....almost a little dark at times. You have to consider when they were written though, not easy times in America. Terminology is different then the contemporary counterparts, but you know, it just gives a parent another chance for teaching their kids words and concepts. My 2 1/2yr son fully understands "naughty" by the descriptions in these stories of the trucks (freight cars) The term naughty was used in a contemporary Thomas book.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
