A familiar book in which Little Tractor overcomes his fear to help his friends. For brave readers ages 4 years and up.
Little Tractor drove down the hill with Daddy, but he slipped in the mud. Now Little Tractor is scared and doesn’t want to leave the barn when it rains. But then Lili says there’s an emergency . . .
My Review
I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
When Little Tractor’s dad wanted him to race down the hill with him even though it’s raining, Little Tractor ran off the road and was upset. He decided he was never going out in the rain again! But when some of his friends are in danger and no one else can help, he decides that friends are more important than fear. What a good lesson about facing your fears.
I can’t wait to read this book to my grandson! I would have already had him over here to read it but he’s sick. He loves computers and I have the digital ARC, so the vibrant colors really pop on the screen. He will also enjoy the story, especially the ending, and he’ll want to point out all of the animals as we read their names.
