Big Tractor - by Nathan Clement (Hardcover)

About the Book

Farmer uses his tractor, Ol' Partner, to do all of his important farm chores, including planting, cultivating, and harvesting.

Book Synopsis

This dynamic picture book shows a big tractor from spring to harvest--planting, cultivating, harvesting, and doing other important tasks on a busy farm.

A tractor is more than a piece of farm machinery. It's farmer's partner that helps him get the hard work done. Bold illustrations, coupled with a simple and lyrical text, show a tractor at work throughout the seasons.
