Summary of Book:
This is a very good picture book. I fell in love with it right after I read it. I think that the reason I like it most is because it illustrates an unlikely friendship between Otis, a very special tractor, and the little calf. Otis works on a farm but is one day replaced by a newer and better tractor. However, he still finds a way to save the day in the end. I would love to read this book to my classroom for entertainment. Also, it shows that even the most unlikely friendships turn out to be the best ones. I think this message is very important to get across to students at a young age.
