Tractor by Sally Sutton

Small children who love big machines and things that grow will be instantly drawn to Tractor, a lively celebration of farm life from the award-winning creators of the bestselling Roadworks series.

Down on the farm, there’s work to be done.
Plant the seeds.
Tip them! Flip them!
Go, go, go!

From ploughs slicing through soil and harrows churning the earth, to seed drills planting crops and combine harvesters reaping the grain, this rhythmic picture book captures the energy, movement and sounds of farming. At the heart of it all is the hard-working tractor, powering every stage of the process before finally resting when the day’s work is done.

With bold, graphic illustrations, Tractor is a perfect read-aloud for young children fascinated by vehicles, farming and how food grows. It’s a book that invites participation, repetition and joyful noise.
