Deanna's Summer Book Linky

Hi Everyone!

It's Tuesday, y'all!

I'm so excited to participate in

Deanna Jump's

Book Linky

this summer!

If you're anything like me,

you l.o.v.e buying new books but I don't always have time to wander the aisles 

at my local bookstore.

 Can you identify?

That's what is so lovely about Deanna's linky!

I can read the many suggestions, choose a new favorite and immediately buy it!

What's not to love about that?!

Let's get to it...

The book I want to share with you 

is one that I just learned about 

this year.

It was selected for the 

Jumpstart's 2013 Read for the Record campaign.

Did your school participate?

It's called... 

Here's just a little snippet about it...

Otis is a friendly little tractor who loves his home on the farm.  

He works hard all day with his farmer and every evening, 

he putt-putts into the stall 

that is his very own.  

Life is good for sweet, little Otis.  

One night, the farmer brings 

a beautiful calf into the barn 

where it cries and cries 

for its mama.   

The sweet baby is inconsolable 

until it hears Otis softly 

putt puff puttedy chuffing

in the next stall.  

The two become inseparable friends.  

Later, the farmer purchases 

a big yellow tractor 

that succeeds in robbing Otis 

of all the work he once enjoyed. 

Otis is even expelled 

to the back of the barn 

where the grass grows taller than his tires.  

He falls into a deep depression 

where even his friend 

cannot reach him.

Sometime thereafter, 

baby calf wanders away from the farm 

and finds itself 

in a dangerous situation.  

Who can save baby calf?  

You'd think 

Big Yellow Tractor

 has the ability, 

but Otis has something stronger...

the power of friendship!

This book is simply precious.

Its theme is very similar to

and

if you're familiar with these two.
