About this item
Tractor Mac is used to driving across the fields-after all, what good are wheels if you can't use them? So he's disappointed when Farmer Bill parks him to run a saw mill and he sees that all of the other animals and machines around him are very busy with their chores on the farm. But when Farmer Bill finally unhooks him from the sawmill, Tractor Mac turns to see what work he has done-and he finds out that he helped raise a whole barn!
About the Author
In April 1999, I introduced the first children's book that I wrote and illustrated, Tractor Mac Arrives at the Farm. Originally published by Golden Books, Tractor Mac Arrives at the Farm tells the story of Sibley the work horse who feels slighted when a "shiny new tractor comes and takes over his chores. " Sibley and Mac overcome their differences and become "the best of friends. " Publisher's Weekly called it a "bright, spirited read aloud" and after only five months the book was in its second printing. I have continued on with several more enthralling and likeable Tractor Mac children's books for boys and girls in the series. Children love the bright, detailed illustrations and absorbing stories, which have become "bedtime favorites. " Subsequent stories include Tractor Mac Learns to Fly followed by Tractor Mac You're a Winner, Tractor Mac Builds a Barn, Tractor Mac Harvest Time, Tractor Mac Saves Christmas, Tractor Mac Parade's Best, Tractor Mac Farmer's Market and Tractor Mac Tune Up. The 10th title in the series, Tractor Mac Farm Days, is a board book developed for the littlest tractor fans and was released in the spring of 2012.
