All of the Factors of Why I Love Tractors by Davina Bell

The beloved and bestselling Australian modern classic about being yourself, libraries and, of course, tractors!

‘A tractor has all different bits that attach:

a shovel for digging a vegetable patch;

a plough to turn earth so it’s ready for seeds;

a sharp blade to chop all your troublesome weeds.’

When Frankie McGee insists on borrowing yet another book about tractors, his mum crumbles. She begs him to read a book about something else – cars, planes, cranes, trains – anything! Frankie launches into all of the various, glorious factors that make up the love that he has for all tractors – but will he be able to bring his mum around?

With irresistible rhyming text by award-winning author Davina Bell and unforgettable illustrations by Jenny Lovlie, All of the Factors of Why I Love Tractors is sure to charm and delight the whole family.
