Tractor Tales is 36 complete four page story's starring Tiny Tractor and Tractor John. Each story really happened and Tractor John and Tiny Tractor are their real names. The story's and illustrations were inspired by the need to help teach Tractor Johns young children reading skills, and so what better way than to depict what daddy does each day at work.
The illustrations are intended to be pointed at by child and adult while reading the simple story beneath.
The story's were chosen for wholesomeness and to instill life values, but as a parent you will want to pause reading and include your own family story's and examples, and then listen, and listen.
The pages are 8.5 by 11 and printed in vivid primary colors. Please use crayons sparingly if you personalize your copy of Tractor Tales.
If you read about Tiny Tractor and Tractor John to your child, one day your child will read Tractor Tales to you. Feel free to cry!
Tractor Tales is intended to be a set of five books - One big book (this one) and four little books, (each is nine chapters of the big book) The big book is moms, and the little books are your childs. All five books must be ordered separately Tractor Tales #'s 1, 2, 3, 4 and Tractor Tales.
A black and white set is available, it's much less $$$ and perfect for coloring, and the two together would be a great gift idea.
A kindle version is also available, and of course the kindle colors jump off the screen, but you better not use permanent markers.
About the Author: Tractor John is not his real name, but it is John and the neighbor kids added Tractor. When giving rides at a four year old's birthday party, the name Tiny Tractor came into being, and so we have for 25] years had Tractor John and Tiny Tractor. Tiny Tractors have worn out (there have been three) and John raised seven children, each one riding along in a special seat-belted seat next to John. Not all at once of course but during a special age of about two to four years old. So when Tractor John came home with a story to tell, many times there was a young child front and center living the same story and telling his or her version. The oldest of the seven are in their thirties now and Tractor Tales are just childhood memories. Tiny Tractor sits and waits for Tractor John to begin another tale.
