Grandpa's Tractor

A visit to a family farm with a special tractor brings back memories for a grandfather who shares them with his grandson.

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.
