Riassunto

Tim Saunders has written an absolute cracker of a story in The tractor has a wobbly wheel, a strong, fun picture book set on a farm.

Animals run this farm, and when their tractor keeps breaking down, they need to find inventive solutions.

The story rhymes, it has repetition, it bounces along: all the things young children love. And it has a tractor!

Carla Martell's illustrations are perfect for the story, taking the humour to another level and adding unexpected extra treats to keep young minds busy and delighted.
