Review: Tremendous Tractors


Tremendous Tractors
Written by Tony Mitton
Illustrated by Ant Parker

Publication date: 2003
Publisher: Kingfisher
ISBN: 0-7534-0831-7

Summary/Back cover:
Tremendous, chuggy tractors,
so sturdy and so strong,
connecting up to farm machines
and pulling them along.
Climb aboard a tractor with a trio of friendly farmers in this playful picture book.  Zippy wordplay, zappy art, plus a picture dictionary make learning about tractors fun!

Review:
Another book from the Amazing Machines collection (see other reviews here, here and here), and as much loved by my 2.5 year old as Terrific Trains.  The rhyming in the book is made to sound like a tractor chugging along, which makes it as much fun for the adults to read, as it is for the kids to listen to!

This book, along with all the other ones in this collection, is great for Mums of little boys, as it teaches us about the different parts and uses of tractors, so that we can actually sound all knowledgeable when we get the inevitable questions like "What's that tractor pulling?" "How does that machine work?" etc. that inquisitive boys are known for!

Definitely a winner here - I rate this book 4.5 out of 5.
