Celebrate Easter with this bright, glitter-sprinkled Thomas & Friends  board book. Train-loving boys and girls ages 3 to 7 will delight in searching for the colorful, glitter-sprinkled eggs on every sturdy page as they discover how Thomas the Tank Engine saves the day when preparations for the annual Easter egg hunt on the Island of Sodor fall behind schedule! Thomas and his friend truly shine in this beautifully illustrated, sparkle-splashed story. In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small blue wooden engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, Reverend W. Awdry , made up to accompany this wonderful toy were first published in 1945. He continued to create new adventures and characters until 1972, when he retired from writing. Reverend Awdry died in 1997 at the age of 85. Tommy Stubbs is an illustrator. His works include The Birthday Express!, A Crack in the Track , and Blue Mountain Mystery .         Rosle offers lifetime warranty
