The Toy Farmer

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Nash. A toy tractor and its driver turn Jed's bedroom rug into dirt. The toy farmer tills the field until, to Jed's bewilderment, sprouts begin to grow. Nash's art neatly corroborates the magical story; the "real" part of Jed's world is shaded and nuanced, while the fantastical part is cartoony.
