A Tractor Named Wilbur by Deanie Humphrys-Dunne.
Friendships Last Forever (Wilbur The Tractor Book One).
WILBUR is a small, shy tractor. He loves cutting the grass for Jim. But what happens when he must find a new home? Will Jim still be his friend? Who will the new owner be? WILBUR would love for you to take him home and read about his adventure. A Tractor Named Wilbur is the first in a fun series coming your way!
Jim McNab was proud that Wilbur stayed with him all his life. They met five years ago and they have been together since then. Wilbur was happy that Jim took good care of him and his red paint looked as shiny as the first day they met. They did lots of work together like mowing the grass and plowing snow in the winter. Jim planned to buy the lot across the street to have his own vegetable farm and he was not sure if Wilbur would get hurt mowing a big field like that. Wilbur was getting old and Jim decided to find him a new home where he would be loved. Wilbur was sad and he did not want to leave. Jim promised to visit him in his new home.
Would he be happy in his home and would he be able to make new friends?
5 Star Review by Reader’s Favorite reviewer, Mamta Madhavan: “A Tractor Named Wilbur: Friendship Lasts Forever by Deanie Humphrys-Dunne is a fun read about friendship and the story will bring a smile to the faces of young readers. It will also make them eager for the next book to read about Wilbur’s adventures in his new home. Holly Humphrys-Bajaj breathes life into the story with her wonderful illustrations and gives Wilbur a personality of his own. It is a lovely bedtime storybook and can be used in classrooms and school libraries for read-aloud and storytelling sessions. The questions at the end make the book interactive and fun, and perfect for classroom.”
5 Star Review by Grady Harp: “Award winning children’s book author Deanie Humphrys-Dunne writes enchanting stories that not only entertain youngsters and share insights into developmental life lessons, but by placing the stories with animal (and mechanical!) characters, the stories become more accessible for learning. This book A TRACTOR NAMED WILBUR is enhanced by the superb illustrations of Holly Humphrys-Bajaj, Deanie’s talented sister. This is a fine story about friendship, about enjoying chores, and about changes that can open doors for new possibilities. Children (and their reading parents) will have fun while learning important life lessons. There is a little quiz at book’s end to underline new knowledge. Recommended.”
Review by Literary Titan: “A Tractor Named Wilbur by Deanie Humphrys-Dunne is a short yet adorable children’s book featuring a little red tractor named Wilbur who lives in a barn. This book contains key elements of a good children’s book such as interesting characters children can relate to, integral moral values and entertaining illustrations to keep readers hooked. The theme of the book is lighthearted and cheerful, making it perfect for young kids’ enjoyment.”
Review by Hollie Anne Marsh (Children’s Author): “This is a lovely story about a tractor called Wilbur, that should appeal to both young boys and girls with not only an adorable red tractor, but also Susie squirrel and Hattie the chicken.
What I liked most about this story, is it’s an easy read, that brings the little tractor to life with adorable life-like traits, such as bouncing on his tires when he’s excited, flashing his headlights and sadly, when tears trickled down his headlights.
This book teaches responsibility and appreciation of owning something like a tractor, with the owner Jim meticulously caring for the tractor each day. Also, Wilbur’s excellent attitude to trying new jobs; such as raking leaves and plowing snow. The book also teaches children to see the bright side and that changes in life are not always bad. A lovely tale, that will capture children’s imagination and I am sure will become a night-time favourite.”
Review by Beth Kallman Werner: “New children’s book release! Super sweet and always with a simple but powerful lesson for young readers to learn.”
5 Star Review by Karen Smith: “Totally awesome. The pictures are great.”
