I rated this fabulous piece of literature 4 stars as it will never live up to terrific trains. It was still incredibly informative and taught me a whole new understanding of the agricultural industry!

Our tractor loving boy loved this one. I'm not a huge fan of the art, but the details and vocab all about tractors is worth it.

Even though I love reading this book with my 6yo son, it's more appealing when Richard Hammond read it a la 50 Shades on Top Gear.

My toddler and I have been enjoying the Amazing machine series. I think it is amazing so much information can be picked into rhyming sentences. Fun the read aloud and informative!

[Miss Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

A preschool guide to tractors including their parts told in rhyming and fun way.

[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

I did learn things from the text but I really dislike the illustrations of animals operating the machines so we won't be reading more from this series.

[Faith · Rating 5 out of 5]

there's a very funny scene in top gear where Richard Hammond reads this book in a very erotic voice

Cute pictures, good verse, and plenty of vehicle-action for my vehicle-loving 3 year old.

Nää Tony Mittonin työkone- ja autokirjat on tosi mieleisiä meidän 2-vuotiaalle. Kiva, rimmaava rytmi ja mielenkiintoisia yksityiskohtia kuvissa.

2 minute read for children 1 to 4 years old. Rhymes and is a fun read that is educational. Very specific about tractor parts and types and what they did for a field of crops.

I don't like it.
不喜欢黑色描边的画风。
不够有趣，主要就是在介绍机械农业。
印象中偶尔有押韵。
没读完。

Children attending our pre-school library story time enjoyed this information book. Our two performers took turns reading the pages.
#1 "Tremendous, chuggy tractors, so sturdy and so strong,"
#2 "hitching up to farm machines and pulling them along."

There are lots of opportunities to engage them in large motor movements -- rolling hands (for tires), roll fingers (harrow crunches), roll arms (roller tube), poking fingers forward in the air (seed drill), chopping motion with one hand on palm of other hand (mower), show muscles (baler). Just use your imagination.

My aged 2.5 child LOVES this book and "reads" it over and over again. This version has paper pages so it is not suitable for younger or unsupervised children. The book explains as simply as it can the various equipment typically used behind a tractor in a grain field from sowing to harvest time and also goes over some of the tractor parts. The pages are colorfully illustrated so although my child doesn't understand how everything works he is enthralled by the book's pictures.

Who this book would be for:
PreK-K, ESOL, Text User, Code-breaking
Reflection of the book:
Tremendous Tractors talks about all the important things a tractor does on a farm. It talks about its big tires and all the different attachments it uses to do different jobs. A glossary of tractor parts can be found in the back describing what each part does.
This could be used for talking about big, bigger, biggest.
Also, emerging readers can decode words by using pictures.

[Kristie · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot of new words are presented in a rhyming fashion. A 'tractor parts' picture glossary is included at the end of the book.

[Alicia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute book and Nakyla loves tractors.

[Nancy Jo Lambert · Rating 4 out of 5]

We love all the Amazing machines books! These wonderfully illustrated and fun rhyming text books are great to share with young children!

4* art

This whole series is awesome. Squirt can now say "plow", and "harrow", and has his first introduction to why tractors are so useful. He loves it.
