We are big fans of The Tractor Squad. Now we find two new stories with our fun farm friends. We love these stories for so many reasons. The text is easy to follow for little ones with its bouncy and playful rhythm. We love the illustrations, they are simply adorable with bright colors and lovable characters. Such fun stories. “Little Tractor Makes a Splash” and “The Tractor Squad Saves the Harvest.” both get little ones excited and engaged in the story. They can't wait to see what happens next as they cheer their heroes on. We learn about taking our time and doing things the right way and working together.
We love that the children learn that making mistakes is okay, that friends are there to help and to always be yourself. Powerful messages in a lovable way. A fun read for storytime with your little ones. Enjoy the adventures with your family.

My son thought this book was awesome! He's 4 and this was right at his level! He loved the illustrations and the fun story!

I wanted to like this cute book, and get it for my 2 year old grandson,but....... My library is in a farming community. No child of this community would take this cute book seriously. Some of the pictures don't match the captions---captions say tractor is transporting milk, but has a picture of carrots. Fix the barn????--a picture of fixing the tractor. Hauling beans---they look more like coal. You can't fool farm kids.

Not one but two rhyming narratives here, as first Little Tractor keeps making errors about the farm, but by an unlikely combination of ingredients manages to save the day, and then all the colours of tractor are too combative in trying to rescue the combine harvester from the mud. To me the first was better – there is a repeated section, like a chorus to it all, that the brighter kid could latch on to joining in with when this is read aloud in class, and while the second half of the book is fine it's a touch too simple and obvious. If you glanced at a copy of this, knew it was in a franchise and that one of the characters was Orange – in a rhyming book – you might doubt the sense of it all. But this is smart enough, and importantly bright and bouncy enough to succeed. It doesn't need to be a classic to earn four stars – this isn't, but still does for sure.

This is a cute book about tractors on a farm. Children who love tractors and machinery will love this book.

What a cute story for toddlers, perfect for fans of Little Blue Truck and Tow Truck Joe!
I enjoyed the rhyming scheme, and the illustrations. My kids both enjoyed the story, and the happily ever after!

Great messages in both the stories in this collection. The colors are nice and bright in the illustrations and typical of a farm type book.

Very cute! The tractor squad is a very friendly bunch of tractors driven by farm animals. Then the farmer steps in as needed. In these two stories you meet little tractor, which is a girl, and purple combine, another girl! I don’t normally see girl tractors, so I was excited about that. Even my little 4yo princess loves tractors!
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

My son and I absolutely loved this story. It has 2 stories in one! So that made it even better. It was sweet and light-hearted and just a fun read. It also has the tractors learn to work together to accomplish their task. The illustrations are wonderful too! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC of this sweet book.

We are big tractor fans in our house and my toddler and I found these two stories very charming and cute. He thought the illustrations were funny and we both found the stories entertaining.

I received an electronic ARC from Marble Press through NetGalley.
Two stories in one book for the Tractor Squad. In the first, the littlest tractor learns a hard lesson about going slowly and being careful after spilling several loads. Then the five tractors learn to work together rather than compete against each other. I appreciate how mellow and supportive the farmer is. Brightly colored illustrations will appeal to young readers. The rhythmic text will keep their interest also.

This was the cutest read for a little tractor fiend! My 2 year old loves tractors and is now learning about accidents and mistakes. This is a wonderful way to combine the love for tractors and a learning that things will be okay and to ask for help or roll with the punches!

Grew up on a farm so loved this book. Such cute rhymes. The illustrations were great. Will be no processing this for my nieces and nephew. Thank you for the ARC.
