Loren Long-recipient of two Golden Kite Awards-delivers a whimsical story of friendship and perseverance. Otis is a kind, hardworking farm tractor who befriends a motherless calf. After work, he and his pal love frolicking together in the fields-until one day Otis is replaced by a new tractor. Left to rust in the weeds, he feels useless and no longer wants to play. But when the calf gets in trouble-and firemen can't even help-Otis revs up to rescue his friend. "[Otis] will certainly draw nostalgic adults [and] find a welcome from younger audiences too."-Kirkus Reviews
