You thought wrong.

His award-winning stories for young readers bring the farmyard
world of Herriot's Yorkshire to vibrant life. Featuring a host of
adorable animals and colorful townsfolk, each of the stories is

caring, and good humor that have made James Herriot beloved the
world over. Here, in James Herriot's "Treasury for Children," we
find all of his books for children collected in one beautiful
volume. From the springtime frolic of "Oscar, Cat-About-Town" to
the yuletide warmth of "The Christmas Day" Kitten, these
stories--radiantly illustrated by Peter Barrett and Ruth Brown--are
perennial favorites, and this new complete edition will make a
wonderful gift for all readers, great and small.

One big tractor, shiny and new. One small tractor, rusty and blue... TRACTOR TRACTOR is the second book in a series of lift-the-flap books about the humorous goings-on at Funny Farm. Each book has an early-learning aspect and TRACTOR TRACTOR is all about opposites. It has sliders too, so children can make the tractors move forward and back, fast and slow. It's harvest time and Red arrives shiny, fast and strong. Blue is an old faithful - small and rusty but wise and calm. So when Red decides to race home after a hard day's harvesting, Blue lets him go, only to find Red in a ditch, no longer shiny and clean but the dirtiest - and smelliest! - tractor he's ever seen. A warm-hearted story that shows, despite being opposites, young and old can make a great team, and be the very best of friends. The Funny Farm series is beautifully produced with matt laminated and embossed covers and sturdy board pages. It also includes Cluck, Cluck, Duck, a counting lift-the-flap book.
