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.

Now nothing—not even his friends and family—can hold Mace back from becoming the greatest racer of all time.

But when Mace suffers a nearly fatal accident while behind the wheel, he loses the nerve that made him the best. He’s done with driving fast. He’s done with TURBO. Until he finds out that his two best friends have mysteriously disappeared as part of a sinister plot that could destroy not just TURBO, but the world. Mace has no choice but to buckle back in, swallow his fears, and race to save the day.

In the thrilling sequel to TURBO Racers: Trailblazer, Mace will have to decide if he’s willing to risk everything to save the sport, and the people, that he loves. Every morph matters in this heart-pounding, exhilarating adventure series by acclaimed author Austin Aslan.
