Come along on a side-splittingly funny adventure and meet the tractors with a big secret ... they're going to space!(goodreads summary)
Toby has dreamed of going up into space to see the moon! He decides to make his wish come true by blasting off as high as he can and his amazing journey begins. While up in space, he meets several other tractors. They show him around the universe and eventually he happily finds the moon. When he realizes though that he doesn't have enough fuel to get back home, the other tractors pull together to help him return safely to the farm.
This is a cute book for kids who have an interest in either tractors or space and putting the two together makes for a fun story. The illustrations are in bright, bold colors and the characters are full of smiles. The text flows easily which is perfect for a quick read aloud. There are great descriptive words that will help kids learn some new vocabulary such as; wispy, twirly, whirly galaxy, whizzed through space or the shimmering moon. It is great on imagination and includes problem solving when they have to get Toby back home with a creative way that will make kids giggle in the end. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-6.~
