Book Cover & Preview Text
Just as Charlie reached the old willow tree at the fork in the road, he heard a heavy rumble coming from behind. It was Farmer Brown, driving a shiny red tractor, which took up the entire width of the old dirt road.
"Get out of the way, Charlie" shouted the old farmer. "Why don't you go back to the barn. I don't need you today.”
