    MY REVIEW:

    As usual this Thomas DVD was a hit in our house.  The DVD was short but it had four short fun-filled episodes.  I think it is a perfect DVD to get us in the mood for spring time and kite flying!  I also love the lessons that kids can learn from it such as working together and problem solving.  I also love the CG animation so it seems like a regular animated DVD.  Aidan was super excited to see Hiro from Hero of the Rails and that the trains talked, instead of just a narrator.

    You can also check out the Thomas website for fun activities and games!

    BUY IT: You can buy “Thomas & Friends: Thomas and the Runaway Kite” wherever DVDs are sold or on Amazon for $11.49 with Free Shipping on orders over $25.

      My daughter loves Toby…also the name of our cat, but that’s not the sole reason. She likes that he is square.

      Of course my son loves Thomas, but he is also a Percy fan, too! We have Thomas books and read them often! Thank you for the chance to win this, I know it would be a HUGE hit in my home.
