About the Book:
Illustrated by Gary Laib
“Where do tractors go when it turns cold and snows? Do they make cozy beds in their giant red sheds?”
In this bright and bouncy read-aloud, tractors dig and scoop, round up the sheep and feed the chickens . . . all before they chug and stomp, zig and zag — dancing with their farmyard friends. Then, in a second story inspired by “Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on a Bed,” count down from ten with Field Mouse, Farmer, and a colorful cast of hard-working tractors.
Oversized trim with bright candy-colored art and a full 40 pages long, The Tractor Squad will have vehicle-obsessed kids bouncing along to the playful rhythms and rhymes. For kids who love Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site and Little Blue Truck.
