Big Tractors: with Casey & Friends

Big Tractors introduces children to the world of modern farming, showing how the biggest, most powerful tractors handle the demanding jobs of pulling and powering on the farm. This book is filled with colorful action photography, fun illustrations and a cast of cartoon equipment characters. As a companion to lessons on tools and machines, students can follow the timeline of the tractor from the time of using horses to pull equipment to the present-day use of tractors to perform work.
