I bought this book for my Justin Time-obsessed two-year-old for Christmas. And if your US child is also a fan of Justin Time (thanks Netflix!), you know that there's not a lot of Justin-Time availability here in the States. Two seasons of shows and no merchandise, until now! The book is written and illustrated by the creator of Justin Time. It's a printed form of the "Pancake Express" episode and is pretty spot-on. He loves it!
My son (almost 3 years old) has loved Justin Time since it first appeared on PBS Sprout. The stories and language are a little advanced for him, but they are accessible enough to entertain him and, as a parent, there is a lot to love about this series. I found the book when I went looking for DVDs of Justin Time (which I have not found) and I ordered it just to see how my son liked it. This has become a must-read at every nap-time and bed-time since it arrived. Brandon Scott James' illustrations are terrific and the story is close enough to the TV episode to be recognizable, but different enough to be interesting on its own. Like the series, I think the language and concepts (such as the illustration of how coal is burned to power the steam engine) are probably aimed at an older kid, but I don't mind stretching our son since he seems to grasp it well enough and he is very engaged. The writing in this book is also quite good and certainly advanced enough (with complete sentences and such) to be a good read even for kids with solid reading skills. We love this book! I've just ordered the only other book in this series, but I hope they plan to publish many more. My wife and I feel like this fits well among the wide variety of books we read with our son.
My son is obsessed with the Justin Time tv series. We can't wait for the merchandising to begin in the US, but this book made a wonderful Christmas present. He asks to read it every night at bedtime.
