2 ⭐This book is overly long. Plus, it‘s gendered when it doesn‘t need to be. Normally you would see little purple tractor and think maybe the tractor was the girl but the author heavily uses he pronouns. Since we are talking about tractors, and except for saying mom and dad, they never gendered anything else. There‘s no reason for them to gender the tractors. It could‘ve been big red, big, yellow, big green, little purple.

LibrarianRyan This book is also extremely wordy for no reason. It‘s long and it drags on. This is definitely a lesson book. You‘re supposed to learn that finding who you are and what your strengths are is good and showing others how you can help them with your strength while not ignoring the other strengths. It‘s quite heavy-handed. This book was OK. It feels like it wants to be Otis and Good Night. Good Night Construction Site however, it misses the heart and 3mo
LibrarianRyan and the lyrical reading of those two other books. 3mo
mabell I recognized this! We were given The Little Red Sled/Sleigh for Christmas, and it was the same. The lesson-heavy books are not my jam 3mo
