Thomas teaches kids to stay on the right track! OK, all puns aside, he tries hard and always aims to be kind and do the right thing. I would love for my kids to do the same. I would also love for them to drive me around like Thomas, but that may have to wait a little longer.
Thomas teaches kids to be honest and kind to everyone.
Thomas teaches honesty, integrity and is a good friend to all his fellow tank engines. My god-daughter would LOVE to go!

Thomas is a good role model because he has a positive attitude and works hard. He always finishes the day on a positive note with a good outcome and moral to his story. My son loves watching Thomas and seeing him and all of his friends get in to trouble and then make everything right again, all in just a few minutes!!
