If there was a Louvre for tractors - this would be it's catalogue. It's a beauty. I really cannot say enough for the all-round quality of it. It must be a work of love. Anyway, of course we haven't READ it, but Squirt and I both slather over its pages nightly. Every kind of tractor imaginable, from every country and time.
If you have a kid that loves trucks then this book will keep them busy for hours. My son carries it with him where ever he goes and sleeps with it at night. The information is pretty interesting as well but not a good night time story book but terrific book to read here and there with your kids.
