One of the many Thomas the Tank Engine series. Thomas has the challenge of getting his run finished and back to the station in time to deliver the kids home from school. But Thomas is held up by a flock of sheep crossing the tracks. Saddened at the thought of being too late to take the kids home, he encounters his friend Bertie the Bus, who has broken down on the side of the road near the tracks. But when Bertie asks Thomas to help him out by taking his passengers, Thomas finds that they are--the school kids! This is a simple tale with simple text and primary color illustrations.
