New York Times bestselling authorartist Loren Long creates an
unforgettable children''s classic.
Otis is a special tractor. He loves his farmer and he loves to
work. And he loves the little calf in the next stall, whom he purrs
to sleep with his soft motor. In fact, the two become great
friends: they play in the fields, leap hay bales, and play
ring-around-the-rosy by Mud Pond.
But when Otis is replaced with the big yellow tractor, he is cast
away behind the barn, unused, unnoticed . . . until the little calf
gets stuck in Mud Pond. Then there is only one tractor?—and it?’s
not big or yellow?—who can come to the rescue. It is little old
Otis who saves his friend. It is Otis who saves the day.
In a wonderful new palette, and in the tradition of classics like
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel and The Story of Ferdinand,
Loren Long has crafted an unforgettable new story?—and
character?—celebrating the power of friendship and
perseverance.
