**Read by country music superstar Trace Adkins!** **The New York Times bestseller and official 2013 Jumpstart Read for the Record selection!** New York Times bestselling author/artist Loren Long creates an unforgettable children's classic. Otis is a special tractor. He loves his farmer and he loves to work. And he loves the little calf in the next stall, whom he purrs to sleep with his soft motor. In fact, the two become great friends: they play in the fields, leap hay bales, and play ring-around-the-rosy by Mud Pond. But when Otis is replaced with the big yellow tractor, he is cast away behind the barn, unused, unnoticed . . . until the little calf gets stuck in Mud Pond. Then there is only one tractorand its not big or yellowwho can come to the rescue. It is little old Otis who saves his friend. It is Otis who saves the day. In a wonderful new palette, and in the tradition of classics like Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel and The Story of Ferdinand, Loren Long has crafted an unforgettable new storyand charactercelebrating the power of friendship and perseverance.

Otis is a fiction PB that was on the NYT best seller list about a tractor who makes friend with a little calf. But one day the farmer got a new big yellow tractor and Otis is cast away outside the barn. The little calf gets stuck in the mud pond but no one can pull her out and that‘s when Otis shows up and rescues her. I would use this book in a read aloud in the classroom. The UDL I would use is 1.2 offer alternatives for auditory information.

Samantha.K I would use ESOL strategy 14 simplify your speech by making it slower and redundant. https://mrswillskindergarten.com/otis-lesson-plans-farm-week/ this link takes you to a lesson plan that is in the course of a week. #ucflae3414f17 7y
DrSpalding A few years ago this was the read for the record book. Sweet story. I brought a miniature horse to campus.🐎 7y
Samantha.K This is the cutest book about the friendship between the tractor and calf. I loved it! 7y

readinginthedark @britt_brooke We just discovered it! And my son has a ton of look and find books. We usually do a few pages a day and rotate through them, with a few library ones thrown in and without diving into his Where's Waldo yet. 😊 8y
readinginthedark @TobeyTheScavengerMonk ❤️My son keeps repeating that at random after the calf gets stuck and saying, "When is Otis coming?!" It's so sweet! 8y
