DUCK ON A TRACTOR

Narrator Walter Mayes appreciates the unusual life of Duck--who once rode a bike and now drives a tractor, sharing the fun with all the other farm animals. When Duck figures out how to turn "the shiny piece of metal," the tractor picks up passengers and heads to town. Mayes brings everything possible to his narration--speed and shrieks, drawls and sputters, squawks and surprises, wobbles and exclamations. As each animal hops aboard the bus, it has both something to say and an unspoken thought. The cow thinks the bus "sure beats walking," and the goats wonders if the dump has a drive-up window. Twangy upbeat music accompanies the story. A.R. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2017]
