A story about a young boy who sees a tractor go by and then goes for a walk with a friend to see it in the field.

This is a quiet story, but has a lot of images I enjoy, pressing noses against a window, farm scenes and playing peekaboo.

A lovely story about friends, a toddler and a teenage girl who have a special bond. It's about their adventures on one summer day. I absolutely loved this as a child because I felt it was similar to the relationship I have with my youngest brother, and the type of things the characters enjoyed doing were the same as my brother and I.

A quiet preschool story of a toddler who goes for a walk on the farm with a young woman friend named Sara. Sweet story to read to a 2-4 year old, especially one who is familiar with farm life.

A great book about taking in the small details. Beautiful illustrations.

A little boy named Max was watching out a window when a tractor drove by. He was eager to go outside to see it when his adult friend Sarah cycled past. She turned back and took him out for a lovely walk on the beautiful summer day in the country. The illustrations in this story are extraordinary and wonderfully depict farm life in the summer.
