​

A fun rhyming story from a talented NZ author.

Farmer John's tractor is very old, but still has lots of life left in it. Sadly, it's been locked up in the shed for a long time. When an overflowing river causes a flood and traps a family in their car, will Farmer John's tractor be able to rescue them?

​

If your kids have read any of Sally Sutton's other books, they'll enjoy this one.

​

Told in Sally's signature rhyming style, kids will enjoy hearing this fun rescue story, especially since they can join in on the repeated phrase.

​

Kids who are into cars and trucks will also enjoy the story, as a parade of vehicles, from a tow truck to a fire engine, all try their best to rescue the trapped family.

​

The talented illustrator Robyn Belton has done a great job with the pictures, from the family stranded in the flooded river, right down to the different tools in the background in Farmer John's shed.

​

Overall this is a fun story with a lot of appeal for boys, and perfect for fans of Sally Sutton and her books.
