Probably not as badly as I do out here. Americans refer to him as "Thomas the Train".

He's NOT A TRAIN YOU IDIOTS! The TRAIN is what the engines pull along behind them. They aren't a train themselves.

Gahh... Rage... taking over...

The Railway Series (Written by The Rev W Awdry, and later by his Son Christopher) Starring amongst others Thomas the Tank Engine (Yes, I'm a pedant )
The Machine Gunners by Robert Westall


That's about it. By the time I started Junior School I was already reading adult books. Never really had time for kids books after that

There are gajillions of stories...



of mischief and fun,



but to keep things simple,



let's start with just one...



about a mom and two kids...



and a house and a hat...



that, oddly enough,



was worn by a cat.

The Cat in the Hat - Dr Seuss

The Lion The Witch& The Wardrobe

Loved them both 30 odd years ago and love them to this day

Roald Dahl - George's Marvellous Medicine
Maurice Sendak - Where The Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak - Not Now Bernard

Those are the 3 that come to mind. So psyched about the new Where the Wild Things Are movie. Looks great.
