Cute, catchy rhymes, and educational, as with all of the books by this author/illustrator pair. We give these as favors at all my sons' birthday parties... we pick a title that most closely matches the theme of the party, and order enough for each family to take home one copy. Everyone loves them, and none of the kids go home crying about trash toys that are already broken! This particular title teaches about various farming equipment I had never heard of (and my kids already have a lot of books about tractors). Highly recommend.
I purchased Tremendous Tractors, Flashing Fire Engines and Terrific Trains for my grandson. He has a lot of books and loves being read to - these 3 are on very high rotation. He likes to have them read to him over and over. For my point of view the illustrations are bright and lively and the words flow and rhyme well. They also provide intelligent information on each "machine" which is capable of being understood by your average 3 year old. I thoroughly recommend them to all the parents and grandparents out there - your little ones will love them!
My 2 year old son loves tractors, and we love reading to him. This book is one of his favorites. He loves looking at the parts of the tractor, and I like that its a bit more colorful and cute than some of his nonfiction tractor books. Its true that the rhymes in this text are a bit difficult compared to some of the other books, but its probably his favorite. I think I will buy this as a gift book for other children with similar interests! His other favorites from this series are Dazzling Diggers and Terrific Trains.
I love this series of books, but this one goes into the detail in which farming is done in a bit too much boring detail for me. You'll certainly know a lot about plowing, seeding, mowing and harvesting when you get to the end of this book, but it's just not as fun as others in the series.
My 2 year old loves this book. We bought it after we received the bulldozer one as a gift. The rhymes are great and shows the different implements hooked up to the tractors.
My Grandson just turned 3 & he has most of the Tony Mitton series of books. His favorites are Tough Trucks & Dazzling Diggers. He seems a little bored & distracted with this one .... I think he'll like it better when he's a little older.
We bought this book for our grandchildren and they love this book. We ended up buying several of the same type of books with different themes, like buses; fire trucks, diggers, etc. I would recommend these books especially for the price. We love them!!
Tony Mitton's books are factual and the rhyming is catchy. My grandsons and granddaughter love this one as well as the other amazing machines titles by Mitton. Love Ant Parker's illustrations, also, which are amazingly accurate in depiction of the machines. I just bought this one and 2 other titles to give to my brother to read to his young grandson. I think I have their whole series now for my grandchildren.
