Tractor

My nephew loved all the different tractors in this book..It is a large book and has good illustrations of the different types of tractors used on the farm.. . This book is great for any child who loves farm machinery...definately would recommend it..

cute book, but it had a short span of interest since it is only a few pages and very simple. However, my daughter really enjoyed it as a young toddler/ older infant - especially the last page that shows a kid enjoying an apple.

I picked this book up for my daughter (11 months) at the Kroger grocery thinking it would be a good book to incorperate into the books for the fall season. We began to read the book and she loves it. It is the same functional format and publisher as the books Words in my world and Noisy animals, which are great too! The book starts out introducing where food comes from and then takes you on to each typical food that is harvested on the farm. The thing my daughter loves about it is that it has large full page flaps for her to open on each page that open to revieal a photo spread. Really interactive. It starts out asking a question, "where does corn grow?" and baby opens the flap to reveal a picture of the field or orcherd or part of farm where the food comes from. The tractor character then tells you more information about how that particular tractor harvests the food. It is very fun to read and My daughter never gets tired of wondering what is behind each flap page. Great book for Autumn. We are getting ready to buy another copy because she has choosen this book as a chew toy as well.

Tractor would more accurately be entitled farm machines. Some of the machines described are seed drills, crop sprayers, various harvesters, bailers, hay tredders, ATVs, and monster tractors. The photographs are excellent. One shows a machine where seven people are carried along just over the soil weeding seedlings on an organic farm. The text is full of fun facts. There is a glossary and an index. Karen Woodworth Roman, Children's Science Book Review

This book is great for kids interested in tractors or farms. The pages are collage-like and show the tractors in action, as well as really nice close-ups of different tractor parts. There is also alot of information on tractors that most grown-ups won't even know. I highly recommend this book.
