BUYING RECOMMENDATION: Pre-K - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Tractor is ready to go for a ride, but as he and Bear gather more an more of the farm animals, things become much too squishy!

Bear and Tractor’s adventure is bright and silly - up to the very last page - when it becomes weird. My reading of it was Tractor wanting to take Bear for a ride and encouraging him to pick up the farm animals.  But when there are too many animals, Bear just gets a bigger tractor?  What will the little tractor do? That didn’t feel right to me.
