"Garland's glossy digital art lets the tractor pop from the page." --Publishers Weekly "[A] charmingly nostalgic tale." --New York Times Book Review Generations have fallen in love with this classic story of a grandson and grandfather whose visit to a family farm with a special tractor brings back memories. Don't miss the new companion title Grandma's Farm -- now available!
Grandpa Joe takes his grandson Timmy back to the site of his family's farm, where the old house and a ramshackle barn still stand. The visit stirs up memories for Grandpa Joe--in particular, the majesty of his own father's shiny red tractor, now rusting in the forgotten fields. An ideal gift, this picture book evokes nostalgia while demonstrating a special bond between a grandparent and grandchild.

Critical Reviews
"A grandfather and his grandson share the sweetness of reminiscence and evoke a bygone era. . . Sure to spark 'what was life like?' questions, this has strong cross-generational appeal." --Kirkus Reviews "Garland's glossy digital art lets the tractor pop from the page." --Publishers Weekly "[A] charmingly nostalgic tale." --New York Times Book Review "Garland's artistic genius has never been shown to such advantage as in this book. . . . The pictures and text together compus a loving tribute to the heyday of small farms in America, a time and place that should not be forgotten."--School Library Journal
