- a tractor (named Katy) saves the people in her community after a storm
- best read aloud
- old-fashioned illustrations fun to study
Type: picture book
Ages: 3-7
Author: Virgina Lee Burton
With fewer kids being born into rural homes these days, tractors might be a very intriguing topic! Also, because reading aloud with various types of emotion and inflections can be so effective, I’d recommend reading this aloud to your children before they read it alone. Some of the excitement in the text is not depicted in the art.
Enjoy!
