Worth the Wait by Billy Steers - ADVISABLE

Steers, Billy Tractor Mac: Worth the Wait, PICTURE BOOK. Farrar Straus Giroux, 2017. $8.99. 

Pete and Paul, two pigs on Farmer Bill's farm, are excited about the watermelons growing in the garden. But in their eagerness to help, they end up ruining much of the melon patch. When they discover a solitary melon growing in their own pig pen, they patiently care for it until it grows big enough to be entered in the Fruit and Vegetable Show. 

This is another story in the Tractor Mac series, and I really enjoyed it. I liked the simpleness of the story and the important message about practicing patience and some things taking time. The illustrations and the text combine to be a great story with a very classic feel. I look forward to reading more of these Tractor Mac books in the future.
