Otis
is a fun little tractor who loves exploring. When a lonely calf is
brought in to the barn, it makes a special bond with Otis. This is a
great story of friendship. There are moments that are a little sad, like
when the farmer gets a new tractor, but overall this is a great story.
It is a wonderful book to use with younger children when discussing
friendship, changes, transportation, or farms.
I just love this book! This reminds me of some of the book I grew up reading. I think that this send a really great message to kids about having friends that are different than yourself and that everyone is special in some way!
