Review

This sturdy board book follows Tractor Mac through his varied tasks on the farm. He plows, harrows, plants, etc. Each task creates a result: Plow and the land is turned over, harrow and you break up the soil. Children will learn that every endeavor produces a certain outcome. Tractor Mac wears a smile throughout his day and the illustrations are lovely and rather old-fashioned. The text highlights the action words in bright red. There are lots of farm animals around enjoying all the activity. This is one that many youngsters, perhaps especially boys, will reach for time and again.

Overall Book Score: very good
