About this item
Tractor Mac sees Plane Jane swooping across through the clouds, and he wonders what it would be like to be able to give hayrides in the sky. He even talks to birds to try to learn how they fly. Then one day Tractor Mac is driving downhill too fast, his wheels lift off the ground, and he can finally fly! But when Tractor Mac has a crash landing, he learns that he is better suited to life on the ground.
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.
