Thomas The Tank Engine is my favorite book because of the strong message it carries with it. This story teaches you to always believe that you can accomplish anything you set your mind on. In the story Thomas, a tank engine, has to deliver a particularly heavy load to a far destination in a short period of time. On his journey Thomas is pushed to the limit many times, but perseveres through the struggle and keeps going. In the end he reaches his destination on time, and is very proud of himself for believing that he could do it. I think that this is such an important lesson to teach to young kids because that is the age when lessons like this really sink into a person and will follow them throughout there lives. This is why I think that Thomas The Tank Engine is the greatest book of all time. For more information on Thomas visit the wikipedia link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_the_Tank_Engine
