“I loved the book. I liked how the person came over and he was nice. I liked how he had a dog. I think he is really going to like his new home. My favorite part was the banner.” -Child age 6
"A Tractor Named Wilbur is a thoughtful story with beautiful illustrations. The beginning opens with adventures between a farmer and his talking tractor. The two appear to enjoy their time together, and both find enjoyment in taking care of the farm. When Wilbur appears more easily tired after working, the farmer recognizes this and feels that it may be time to let Wilbur rest. The farmer suggests that Wilbur move to a new home. Children will enjoy this story as it takes them on an adventure with a talking tractor! The illustrations and storyline engage children and encourage them to form a friendship with Wilbur. It also quietly touches on the idea of moving and change. There are questions at the end of the book that creates a fun activity for parents, teachers, and children! I recommend this book to parents and educators. A Tractor named Wilbur will make a nice addition to a home and classroom library! Children will love this book!" -School Psychologist
"I love your book because it was a tractor. I like that he was red. I like how he talked. I liked how he plowed the snow. I felt sad he had to leave his old home. At the end I like he was getting happy that he could meet new friends and animals. It will help with kids who need to move from their old home."-Child age 5
