Description
Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 2—Otis is a fun-loving tractor who roams the fields after a
hard day's work and plays in the haystacks. In the barn one night, his engine provides a gentle
purr that helps a frightened young calf fall into a peaceful sleep. The two become inseparable.
That is, until the farmer decides to upgrade and brings home a brand-new, shiny yellow tractor and
relegates Otis to the weeds behind the building. Having outlived his usefulness, Otis just sits there,
impervious to the calf's call to play. But when his friend gets stuck in Mud Pond and no one—not
even the fire department—can pull her out, the feisty tractor revs his engine ('putt puff puttedy
chuff') and saves the day. His heroism and concern for a friend are themes that will appeal to
young readers. Long's gouache and pencil artwork is stunning with a red and cream main
character against a sepia-toned monochromatic background. The overall effect is nostalgic and
comforting as readers bond with the determined little tractor. In the end, Otis finds a place on the
farm where his engine's soft purr can be put to good use. This satisfying conclusion that speaks of
a place for everyone is sure to ring true to children.—Joan Kindig, James Madison University,
