Description

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

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

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. Don't miss the new companion title Grandma's Farm — now available!

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.

Reviews

"A grandfather and his grandson share the sweetness of reminiscence and evoke a bygone era. . . 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

"Garland's artistic genius has never been shown to such advantage as in this book. . . . The pictures and text together compus a loving tribute to the heyday of small farms in America, a time and place that should not be forgotten."—School Library Journal
