Description
In this Thomas & Friends story, Henry the green engine is very proud of his shiny coat and doesn't want to get it dirty or wet. When rain starts to fall, Henry refuses to leave a tunnel, stranding his passengers. Sir Topham Hatt teaches him that being a Really Useful Engine means doing his job even when it's inconvenient. This classic tale from Reverend W. Awdry has been adapted for beginning readers with simple language.
