Media Reviews
'The words of this book simply tell Arthur's problems, luckily we've got the amusingly detailed pictures to show all the exciting events surrounding him. Will Arthur ever discover them as well? You'll have to read it to find out. There's so much to discuss it cries out to be shared.' Primary Times 'Arthur's Tractor yokes a farmer with fairy tales in a hilarious romp by Pippa Goodheart. Boys and girls will adore the way Arthur remains preoccupied with his machine while a princess gets chased by a dragon, and absent-mindedly save the day... If only love were as simple and sensible as it is in picture books...' Amanda Craig, Independent on Sunday Amanda Craig, Independent on Sunday 'Huge amounts of detail in this picture book mean that on each re-reading your toddler will discover something new. Great for kids and adults alike!' Baby and You 'A funny story with lots of intriguing details to explore in the jokey pictures, and a text enlivened by lots of delicious chugga-thrum engine noises.'
