Children eager for entertainment, and parents who want that entertainment wholesome, have been turning to Thomas the Tank Engine for many years. Thomas returns with episodes of his popular television series on HOORAY FOR THOMAS & OTHER ADVENTURES. Thomas is a train engine who lives at the yard with other engines, each with a different personality and different problems. The program is designed to teach children social skills and the value of hard work by blending good-natured entertainment and learning. Based on the books by the Rev. W. Awdry, Thomas has won multiple Parents' Choice Awards and Kids First! Coalition for Quality Children's Media Awards.
