TRACTORS ON THE GO!

Spend a day on a farm where everyone moves to a catchy, rhythmic beat.

Two tractors—one blue, one red—pull out of the shed in the morning with a “Chugga-chugga! VROOM! VROOM!” and a “Chugga-chugga! BEEP! BEEP!” Their canine drivers wave to each other as they start the day. They both have important chores to do. They plow, sow seeds, harvest wheat, and haul hay bales, all while contending with obstacles like mud and runaway sheep. But as the title reminds us, these two tractors are “on the go!” and both drivers make sure to get their jobs done. Switching between panels and full-page spreads, Tuya’s sunny art shows a farm day’s structured routine but always leaves room for a few unexpected twists and turns (keep an eye on the sneaky sheep who wears a bell on a red collar). Robinson’s steady, rhyming couplets mirror the mechanical pulse of a tractor’s roar. The repeated refrain is infectious: “Chugga-chugga! VROOM! VROOM! Tug! Pull! Tow! / Chugga-chugga! BEEP! BEEP! Tractors on the go.” Budding motor vehicle enthusiasts will also enjoy spotting the other farmyard machinery.

A storytime treat for those who long to work the land.
