(3) K-3 After being replaced by a newer model, tractor Otis is forlorn--until his baby-calf friend gets stuck in the mud, and only Otis can save her. This tender, old-fashioned tale recalling Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel and The Story of Ferdinand has a timeless message and a surefire hook: a cute animal. The largely industrial-toned art manages, impressively, to exude warmth.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
