Illustrated by
Daniel Sohr.
Readers will empathize with Tony, who becomes disenchanted with his old toy riding tractor after seeing his neighbor's fancy new one. He doesn't mind--at first--when he wrecks his tractor, but life is pretty boring without his favorite toy, so he asks Uncle Bob to help fix it. Expressive, homey illustrations offer a glimpse of Tony's life on a farm.
