Thomas' Milkshake Muddle: Three Thomas & Friends Stories (Thomas and Friends Pictureback) - Softcover

Each new Thomas DVD creates great excitement. These three stories from the latest release are filled with the same gentle humor and familiar friends as all of the very popular Thomas Picturebacks.

First, Thomas is taking milk to the dairy to make ice cream for a big party, and if he goes too fast, the milk will churn into butter. Second, Sir Topham Hatt has arranged for all the engines to go get a new coat of paint . . . but why was Toby left out? And third, when Neville—a new engine—is seen talking to diesels, none of the steamies will speak to him . . . not even to warn him that the bridge is out!

In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small, blue, wooden engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W Awdry, made up to accompany this wonderful toy were first published in 1945. He continued to create new adventures and characters until 1972 when he retired from writing. Reverend Awdry died in 1997 at age 85.
