Otis and the Tornado

40 pp. | Philomel | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25477-2 $17.99
(3) K-3 In his latest adventure, little tractor Otis and his farm-animal friends elicit nothing but scowls from a bull. But when a tornado leaves the bovine vulnerable, it's Otis to the rescue. For truck-loving young readers this is a perfect no-twists hero fantasy. Long's fine illustrations exhibit old-fashioned reserve: they're black-and-white but for occasional color indulgences.
