Grandpa's Tractor (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781590787625)

Generations have fallen in love with this classic story of a grandson and grandfather whose visit to a family farm with a special tractor brings back memories. Don't miss the new companion title Grandma's Farm -- now available!

Grandpa Joe takes his grandson Timmy back to the site of his family's farm, where the old house and a ramshackle barn still stand. The visit stirs up memories for Grandpa Joe--in particular, the majesty of his own father's shiny red tractor, now rusting in the forgotten fields.

An ideal gift, this picture book evokes nostalgia while demonstrating a special bond between a grandparent and grandchild.
