Farmer John's Tractor by Sally Sutton
Rhyming read-aloud text and atmospheric illustrations tell a satisfying tale of a family stranded in a flood -- and a reliable old tractor to the rescue.Farmer John's tractor lies locked in the shed,rusty yet trusty and orangey red.
When the rain comes that season, it doesn't let up, filling the river until it overflows, swirling and rushing and gushing. Down by the river, a car gets stuck, and the family inside shouts for help. As they climb to the roof, a series of vehicles -- a speedy jeep, a strong tow truck, even a noisy fire engine -- rush one by one to the scene. But each gets more stuck than the last. Is it possible that Farmer John's ancient tractor, rusty as it is, could still be up for the job?
Sally Sutton has spent four decades working in rural water supply and sanitation in the Middle East and Africa. The book was inspired by her personal experiences with the concurrent initiatives of governments/development partners and households to enhance water supplies.
