Things to Find: Farm Vehicles

Content

Young observers always marvel at all the big vehicles that are needed for the work on a farm – especially the tractor. Not surprising, given how vital and wide-ranging its use in farming is. This book introduces children to other important farm vehicles: the combine harvester, the potato digger, the field chopper and many more. Realistic illustrations show when and for what purposes these vehicles are used over the course of the year.
