Children can enjoy their favourite story time and time again with this brilliant picture book and DVD set. The DVD features a soundtrack read by Richard Briers, animated stills from the book and brilliant music and sound effects. Chuff-chuff, chuffity chuff, whoo...oo. . oo! The Little Red Train has set off down the track without sleepy-head Duffy Driver! Poor Duffy tries everything to catch up - he hitches a lift on a lorry, clambers aboard a motor boat, grabs the chance to ride a tractor and finally makes a heroic leap from a speeding helicopter! At last Duffy is safely back in the driver's cab, just in time for the Little Red Train to pull into the station at Sandy-on-Sea for a lovely, lazy afternoon. Phew!
