William Bee's Wonderful World of Tractors and Farm Machines

Description

William Bee is back and this time he's showing us his amazing collection of farm machines and tractors. There's his teeny tiny tractor for picking fruit, the widest tractor in the world that can cover acre after acre, tractors for pulling ploughs or for pushing smelly loads of manure, his combine harvester and not forgetting his animals, including cows, Daisy and Buttercup, plus Brian the horse. The Cone Family are back to help (or is that hinder?) on the farm, as is Sparky the dog. Perfect for every child fascinated by farms, tractors and amazing vehicles. Brmm Brmm, let's get farming!

William Bee was born in London, but now lives in the English countryside. As well as writing and illustrating children's books, he races a vintage sports car, is an international skier, and when at home tends his lawns and meadow.
