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.
