Otis

Loren Long - recipient of two Golden Kite Awards - delivers a whimsical story of friendship and perseverance. Otis is a kind, hardworking farm tractor who befriends a motherless calf. After work, he and his pal love frolicking together in the fields - until one day Otis is replaced by a new tractor. Left to rust in the weeds, he feels useless and no longer wants to play. But when the calf gets in trouble - and firemen can’t even help - Otis revs up to rescue his friend.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Otis] will certainly draw nostalgic adults [and] find a welcome from younger audiences too." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Adorable

This is a story about how unusual friendships can build a lasting bond. I adore how instantly they connected with each other. It is even more adorable how their owner realized the special bond they shared, as well as how Otis was special to his animals on the farm. This is indeed a perfect book to teach children about the value of hard work and friendship.
