Raves and Reviews

Sweet illustrations are the highlight of this Dutch import geared to the very young. Little Tractor lives on a farm with his father and a variety of animals. Daddy Tractor plans a fun outing with his son: “Today we’re going to do something special together.” He suggests they climb a hill and race down it. At first, the small, bright red machine is excited, until he discovers the weather has turned, and it has begun to rain. His father encourages him, so, though hesitant, he decides to go along with the plan. After losing his “footing” and slipping off the trail, Little Tractor vows to remain inside whenever it rains. He retreats to the barn and stays nice and dry until an emergency has him thinking of someone else instead of considering his own comfort. Little Tractor has eyes reminiscent of C-3PO and an expressive mouth that clearly reveals his emotions. Youngsters will enjoy the story’s message of bravery and the brightly colored illustrations of tractors and farm animals.
