Slide Through: All Aboard the Busy Tractor by Roger Priddy

Children will love helping out around the farmyard in Slide Through: All Aboard the Busy Tractor--an innovative format from Priddy Books.

Climb aboard the tractor and join Farmer Dylan on a busy day around the farmyard in this exciting, interactive book. With six play pieces including a large tractor and die-cut pages, this unique format encourages children to be part of the fun.

Readers can collect the play pieces in each scene, slot them into the back of the tractor, then slide them through the die-hole to the next page to the next farm location. The chunky reusable play pieces are perfect for little hands to hold and can be safely stored in the embedded compartment in the cover, while the classic illustration style and imaginative format add extra gift appeal.

Roger Priddy left school at 16 with just one qualification in art. He went to Berkshire College of Art and Design and trained as an illustrator. His first job in children's books was working with the publisher Peter Usborne, at Usborne Publishing, and then he worked with Peter Kindersley at Dorling Kindersley, where he spent 16 years. Priddy became Creative Director of DK's Children's Division and was Managing Director of the children's mass market publisher Funfax when it was acquired by DK.

In 2000, he created Priddy Books with John Sargent at St Martin's Press to create innovative and imaginative titles for children, from first books for babies through early reference titles for older children. Since then, over 30 million copies of Roger's 200 plus books have sold worldwide, with five of his books My Big Animal, My Big Truck, Happy Baby Words, Happy Baby Colors and Puppy and Friends each selling over one million copies. He is also the author of Big Board First 100 Words; Big Board Books Colors, ABC, Numbers; and Bright Baby Noisy Monsters. His creativity has been recognized with numerous industry awards.
