The blurb

Jack's got a tractor, big and red, with a trailer fixed behind.

He's going for a ride, he says, to see what he can find.

Brum, Brum, Vrumm!

A great text to read aloud.

Shortlisted for the Sheffield book award.

Lots of colourful full-page illustrations to help tell the noisy story of Jack and his red Tractor. Lots of silly sounds to read aloud with my son until Jack realises it is getting late and he doesn't know the way home.  

A little mouse comes to the rescue and helps Jack and the noisy animals return home quietly ready for bedtime.

Great fun.

5 out of 5!
