Children will love to press the soft, silicone buttons on the tractor to hear entertaining sounds, from a beeping horn to a revving engine in this touch and feel sound title from the I Can Learn! series. Includes an on/off switch on the back cover to extend battery life.
Follow the tractor for a busy day on the farm in this interactive book filled with engaging rhymes, illustrations, and a tactile tractor featuring corresponding sounds. Little ones will love pressing Tractor's parts to hear an entertaining range of sounds, from a beeping horn, revving engine, and the crunch of gravel to the tires spinning along in the mud.
The tactile features and sounds promote learning through fun!
Learning is fun with the I Can Learn! series where young readers can explore colors, shapes, counting, and many other first concepts in these hands-on books. Manipulating special features such as tactile elements, sound buttons, and flaps is an excellent way for children to reinforce learning and strengthen hand-eye coordination.
NOISY TRACTOR is a cute board book with an interactive element that presents some farm-themed basics. Each page features some rhyming lines and lots of colorful details, with labels on items and animals (eg, horse, barn) and a suggestion to push one of five parts of the tractor for a special sound. For instance, first, children are instructed to push the engine to start the tractor. The tractor itself is die-cut through the book and has a soft texture with buttons hidden in each element.
What I loved: The concept of this book is fantastic for young children who love quick and interactive reads. The illustrations are fun with lots of color, details, and animals that toddlers can explore as they read through the book. The extra labels help to promote some word recognition along the way as well. The rhyming text is fun to listen to and the pages turn very quickly.
The sounds are delightful, and a particular favorite in our house is the sound of the tire going through mud (though the horn is pretty cool too). I also appreciate the feature of the on/off switch on the back, which makes it easy to turn off as needed. The inclusion of five different sounds/places to identify on the tractor is also great!
What left me wanting more: As a small point (and it is hard to say if this is copy specific), the buttons on the tractor are a bit finnicky, and they need to be pushed a specific way to work, which is not always easy for toddlers. We particularly have trouble with the horn, which works some but not all of the time.
Final verdict: Interactive, rhyming, and brightly colored, NOISY TRACTOR is a fantastic board book for children who love farms, quick reads, and fun sounds.
Please note that I received a review copy. All opinions are my own.
This sturdy board book's cover includes a die-cut in the shape of a flexible plastic tractor, and as readers move through its pages, they can press five different parts to hear the sounds the vehicle makes; for instance, its engine and its horn. Those parts are labeled, and each of the pages contains animals and materials associated with life on a farm. The rhyming text provides instructions to young readers, who will enjoy all that interaction while learning more about tractor parts and farm life. There are several words or labels for each of the animals and materials so parents or caregivers might use the book for instructional purposes or as a starting place for conversations about all the work a tractor does.
An interactive rhyming board book showing the work a tractor makes while working on a farm. There are squishy soft buttons to push on different parts of the tractor to make five realistic sounding noises, for example push the horn for a honking sound and the engine for a revving engine sound. The bright and colorful illustrations are clearly labeled and make this an appealing book for the youngest readers.
