Grandpa's Tractor by Michael Garland

Grandpa's Tractor by Michael Garland

Generations have fallen in love with this classic story of a grandson and grandfather whose visit to a family farm with a special tractor brings back memories.

Grandpa Joe takes his grandson Timmy back to the site of his family's farm, where the old house and a ramshackle barn still stand. The visit stirs up memories for Grandpa Joe--in particular, the majesty of his own father's shiny red tractor, now rusting in the forgotten fields. An ideal gift, this picture book evokes nostalgia while demonstrating a special bond between a grandparent and grandchild.

"Sure to spark 'what was life like?' questions, this has strong cross-generational appeal" —Kirkus Reviews

"Garland's glossy digital art lets the tractor pop from the page." —Publishers Weekly

"[A] charmingly nostalgic tale." —New York Times Book Review
