I
recently reviewed a book that I think is a good trend in picture
books for children. Big Tractors is
filled with information even adults will find useful, but the book
doesn't talk down to children. The pictures are wonderful and most
important it shows children what the big business of farming is like.
Review:
Farming is big
business. Big tractors are required to do the planting and harvesting
on large commercial farms. Big Tractors gives
an overview of how these tractors look and what they do in language a
child can understand.
The
pictures are outstanding. They show off the tractors and implements
to good advantage. In fact, the pictures are so good Daddy or Grandpa
may be interested in looking through the book.
Another
feature I liked is the timeline showing how tractors have changed to
adapt to the new farming methods. I highly recommend this book if
your child is interested in tractors. Even if you live on a small
farm and your child is familiar with tractors, the pictures of
monster tractors give another perspective on farming.
I
reviewed this book for PR by the Book.
