This is the perfect book or any child obsessed with both tractors and space... all children, particularly budding astronauts and future farmers, will enjoy this funny, highly inventive story which emphasizes how important it is to dream big - and to have friends to help your dreams come true. -- Helen Murphy * CBI Inis Magazine *
My little farmers (7, 5 & 2) all adored this book! They have read through it so many times already and its definitely a new family favourite….it was refreshing to have something different for the kids to read, and helped broaden their interests beyond strictly farming/machinery and for the first time has them truly interested in learning more about space. I would absolutely love to see this develop into a whole series of tractor adventures!!! -- NetGalley reviewer * NetGalley *
This is a great read aloud with countdowns, sound effects, new friendships, silly mishaps, and a tractor who makes his dreams come true. The space and vehicles combo is a super exciting mix for kids and the engaging illustrations are sure to be a hit. -- NetGalley reviewer * NetGalley *
I have no doubt this will become a family favorite at bedtime. Parents, you MUST check this one out, especially if your kids love tractors! It's a good one! -- NetGalley reviewer * NetGalley *
