Parsnip and the Runaway Tractor [Hardcover]

Sue Porter (Author)

Book Description

Lift the flaps and join in Parsnip's fun! In this second story about the mischievous little lamb, Parsnip decides to investigate the farmer's shiny new tractor with her friends Tadpole the piglet, Blanket the foal, and Champy the sheepdog. At first they only look at it, but then Parsnip accidentally starts the engine -- and that's when the fun begins! Parsnip, Tadpole, and Champy set off on a hair-raising, animal-scattering tractor ride through the farm, until the tractor at last comes to a halt -- in the duck pond!

This review is from: Parsnip and the Runaway Tractor (Hardcover)

A very sturdy book for small children. Easy to read for an older child reading to little brother or sister. I found the quality of the paper to be a lot better than in similar books where lift-flaps have been used and these seem to be much sturdier and will delight children with the picture-surprises under them. It also teaches children the dangers of what can happen if you don't obey your parents, etc., hence the "runaway tractor". My 2 and 4 year old grandsons should both enjoy many years of this simple but adorable book.
