A barnyard ride that grows into a town spectacle

Duck takes the wheel of Farmer O’Dell’s tractor, first carrying the barnyard animals around the farm and then driving through town. The other animals begin as onlookers, trading comments about Duck’s unusual choice, before joining the ride themselves. That shift—from a solo escapade to a group outing—gives the story a clear comic build, with the town’s lunch crowd waiting along the route. The picture-book setup also invites attention to the illustrations, where details and jokes are part of the reading experience, especially aloud or on repeat visits.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy stories about farm animals and humorous misadventures.
  • Families and educators seeking a picture book to share aloud.
  • Readers familiar with Duck on a Bike who want another Duck adventure.

Book overview

Bestselling Caldecott Honor artist David Shannon tells the story of a determined duck who decides to jump on a tractor and drive it around the barnyard and through town, with hilarious consequences!

 

David Shannon's wildly popular, award-winning Duck on a Bike left children begging him to tell them another story about Duck after seeing him pictured alongside a shiny red tractor. Now Duck is back and turning the farm upside down! Flushed with the success of his trailblazing bike ride around the farm, Duck decides he's ready to drive the tractor. As in the bestselling Duck on a Bike, all the barnyard animals share their humorous comments as they watch Duck do the unthinkable. Then, one by one, they join him on the tractor for a ride! But what happens when Duck drives the big red tractor through town, past the popular diner where all the locals are having lunch? What will those folks really think when they see Duck and all the other animals riding around on Farmer O'Dell's tractor? Filled with entertaining detail and sly jokes, readers will pore over each picture again and again. Perfect for reading aloud!
