A story of opposites making friends, this sturdy lift-the-flap counting book will give the very young a positive first reading, first learning experience and especially if they love tractors.
Tractor Red is big and new, while Blue is old and small. They work alongside one another all day in the field, but at sunset, Red challenges Blue to a race. It’s no contest really and Red zooms off leaving Blue behind. But uh-oh, when Red ends up stuck in the mud, he needs Blue to pull him out. The story is packed with incident, and the illustrations are very appealing. This farm is definitely a fun place to visit!
One big tractor, shiny and new. One small tractor, rusty and blue. Tractor Tractor is the second book in a series of lift-the-flap books about the humorous goings-on at Funny Farm. Each book has an early-learning aspect and Tractor Tractor is all about opposites. It has sliders too, so children can make the tractors move forward and back, fast and slow.
It's harvest time and Red arrives shiny, fast and strong. Blue is an old faithful - small and rusty but wise and calm. So when Red decides to race home after a hard day's harvesting, Blue lets him go, only to find Red in a ditch, no longer shiny and clean but the dirtiest - and smelliest! - tractor he's ever seen.
A warm-hearted story that shows, despite being opposites, young and old can make a great team, and the very best of friends.
