MY THOUGHTS:

This Thomas & Friends DVD is full of excitement and springtime. The DVD features four episodes in the new CGI animation. My boys were hooked from the first episode which features Thomas carrying Lemonade quarts. Thomas realizes when he goes on bumpy tracks a fun popping noise happens. He doesn’t realize that it is actually the corks from the Lemonade and it is actually making quite a mess around town. I think this teaches a great lesson that just because something is fun doesn’t mean it is okay to do. The other Thomas & Friends episodes are just as fun and perfect to get kids in the mood to go outside! With the crazy weather we have been having it was nice to see some outside fun going on! This DVD is perfect for old or new Thomas fans!
