English review follows I'r sawl sy'n hoff o drenau does dim yn well na darllen llyfrau yn y gyfres Tomos a'i Ffrindiau. Hanes James a gawn yn y gyfrol hon. Coch yw lliw James, ac i'r rhai ohonoch sy'n adnabod eich trenau, gwyddoch fod ei olwynion yn llai na Gordon ond yn fwy na rhai Tomos. Medrai James dynnu cerbydau neu dryciau ac roedd e'n falch iawn o hynny. Ond efallai fod James ychydig yn rhy falch ohono ef ei hun ar adegau! Ei falchder, yn wir, sy'n ei arwain i drafferthion mawr ond mae popeth yn iawn erbyn y diwedd, diolch byth, ac mae James a'r Rheolwr Tew yn ffrindiau. Dyma lyfr dwyieithog a all fod o gymorth mawr i blant a rhieni sy'n dysgu Cymraeg. Mi all hefyd gynorthwyo Cymry ifainc i ddysgu darllen Saesneg. Gwendid mwyaf y llyfr yw fod 'na ormod o eiriau ar un dudalen, ac fe allai hynny ddigalonni plentyn bach. Sarah Down ******************* To those of you that are already train-spotters, reading a book in the Tomos a'i Ffrindiau series can be a real treat. In this book we hear of James and his adventures. To those of you familiar with Tomos and his friends, you will be well aware that James is red and that his wheels are smaller than those of Gordon but bigger than the wheels of Tomos. James can pull either coaches or trucks and he is proud of his ability to do so. But James, perhaps, is a little too proud to listen to the Fat Controller and therefore gets into all sorts of trouble. Thankfully, it all ends happily and they are all friends. This is a bilingual book and can be of great assistance to children and parents learning Welsh. Personally, I would have preferred less text on the page - having so many words can sometimes be off-putting for young readers. -- Sarah Down @ www.gwales.com
