Of course, Tractor John is not his real name, what mother would do that. It is John and the neighbor kids added Tractor. When giving rides at a four year old’s birthday party, the name Tiny Tractor came into being, and so we have for 25+ years had Tractor John and Tiny Tractor. Tiny Tractors have worn out (there have been three) and John raised seven children, each one riding along in a special seat-belted seat next to him. Not all at once of course but during that special age of about two to four years old. So when Tractor John came home with a story to tell, many times there was a young child front and center living the same story and telling his or her version. The oldest of the seven are in their thirties now and Tractor Tales are just childhood memories, and Tiny Tractor sits and waits for Tractor John to begin another tale.
The original Tractor Tales book was home printed and plastic bound and was created as bedtime stories when Johns youngest son was learning to read.
Today’s modern printed Tractor Tales is the perfect Tractor book for any child to call their very own. We printed the same books in black and white so that children could use them as coloring books while parents helped them read. It is important for children to own books. Ownership teaches responsibility, induces pride, and they learn to value. Borrowing books or looking at moms book has merit also, but a childs first Tractor Book with his or her name in the front is hard to top.
