Tractor Mac : Tune-up by Billy Steers - ADVISABLE

Tractor Mac : Tune-up by Billy Steers, PICTURE BOOK Farrar Straus Giroux (Macmillan), 2018. $6.

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) -  ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL:  AVERAGE 

When Tractor Mac isn't working right, Farmer Bill calls in Dr. Lou the tractor repair guy. Now Mac is worried about going to the Hospital! What if he can't be fixed and they sell him for parts? 

The illustrations in this are great! Mac is adorable and all the animals and machines on the farm care for each other. Mac gets a lot of work done at the shop, and the reader gets to watch it all. There's a diagram of a tractor engine inside the front cover, and a labeled diagram of a tractor inside the back cover. If you have a child who loves big trucks and farming machines, this is a good choice!
