The Fat Controllor needs a new travel Agent, I was expecting a quick guide to our country for the kids but this books seems to have been written by someone who hasn't been to NZ or the South Island. Wellington didn't feature yet the beehive was on the cover, Queenstown got mention for the Remarkables and he went to a rugby game in Christchurch, it's a child's book, he doesn't need to be limited to the existing train tracks. It's a good thomas story with great illustrations but if you want your kids to learn about NZ it's not worth it.
