Milkshake Muddle (magazine story)

Milkshake Muddle is a magazine story illustrated using photographs from the television series.

Plot
Thomas was having a busy day. He had to collect milk from the dairy to make ice-cream and butter from the farm - all in time for a party. After collecting the milk, Thomas met up with Emily. She teases Thomas for going slow. Thomas told her that the dairy manager had told him to go slow, but he still races Emily. The churns shook violently as Thomas bucketed along the rails. When he reached the ice-cream factory, the manager saw that the milk was almost butter. Thomas felt awful; he had to return to the dairy to collect fresh milk.

Thomas was worried as the cakes were now going to be late for the party. He suddenly had an idea and chuffed even faster with the old milk all the way to the bakery. The baker was surprised when he looked into the churns. The "almost-butter" was now butter and there was enough to make all the cakes!
