Tucker the Tricky Green Tractor
~Written and Illustrated by Lynn Darby
Tucker the Tricky Green Tractor by Lynn Darby creatively encourages children to be active and undertake new adventures.
Tucker is a rusted and broken down tractor, who sits alone in a field. Tucker longs to have someone to love. One day Tucker is caught in a terrible lightning storm. Feeling frightened Tucker yells for help, but no one hears his cries. However, this was no ordinary storm, this was a magic storm and Tucker is transformed into a beautiful shiny green tractor with a new engine. He can hardly wait to explore the farm and meet the new family that lives in the farmhouse.
Children will join Tucker as he learns new tricks from several different farm animals. They will also delight in Tucker's happiness as he rides off into the sunset with his new friends. Has Tucker finally found someone to love?
Lynn Darby does a wonderful job of incorporating the benefits of physical activity into a fun story line children will enjoy. Her upbeat illustrations add to the adventure and children will want to read Tucker the Tricky Green Tractor again and again.
