It can carry, pull, push, or use various tools. It can pull a harrow, mower, plow, or seeder easily in the fields or on the road. On a farm, you can find several types of a very powerful one for heavy plowing, a lighter one to spread fertilizer, and one or two others for ongoing yard work.

I liked this board book, but then I grew up on a farm. Good illustrations and, I think, factual information. If children like big machinery, they would like this book. I meant to check with my farmer-experts to see if it was all, in fact, right, but it didn't happen. I have to assume it is! Sturdy with great colour.
