An interview with Wilbur the Tractor

 "Have you met Wilbur? He's a cute, friendly tractor whose stories help children learn about lasting friendships and coping with changes in their lives. Wilbur loves making new friends and today he's stopping by for an interview with me." 

"Wilbur, welcome to my blog."

"Thank you Deanie. I'm so excited to be spending time with you today." 

" I can see how happy you are Wilbur, because your bouncing on all four tires."

"Yes, that's one of my favorite things to do when I'm happy."

  "Wilbur, tell our readers how you gave me the idea for your story."

   "When I came to your house, you thought I was so cute that I'd be the perfect character for another children's book so you talked to your sister, Holly Humphrys-Bajaj, about illustrating the book for you."

 "Thats right, Wilbur. Tell our readers more about your first book."

"Jim McNab is my best friend. He bought me a few  years ago and he takes good care of me. I have my own tool box with my name on it and even a green blanket that says 'Wilbur' on it. And Jim always washed my tires if they were muddy. And he had an Irish accent. He'd come into my barn every morning and say, 'Top o' the mornin' to you, Wilbur. ' But one day Jim didn't smile and say 'Top o'the mornin' to you, Wilbur.' He looked sad. Then he told me he'd have to sell me because I was getting o-l-d-e-r, Wilbur whispered. Big tears splashed from my headlights, thinking about being without my best friend. But Jim reminded me I might make new friends in my new home. He knew I love animals and he told me I might make new animal friends.'

"Jim is wise. I bet that helped you feel much better, Wilbur."

"Yes, it did. And Jim said he'd come to visit me in my new home. My book, A Tractor Named Wilbur" shows children that friendships can last a long time."

"That's a good thing for children to learn, Wilbur."

Tell us about your second book, Wilbur's New Home.

    "In Wilbur's New Home, Jim puts me up for sale. People come to see me and Jim tells me it will be fun, but most of the visitors are grumpy and unkind. I would've hated being with them. But in the end, I  found the perfect family. And at the end  there's a special surprise for me."

"That sounds like the perfect story for someone who is moving or changing schools."

 Yes, it is. And I love making friends. Readers will meet some of my favorite friends in my books. One is Hattie the chicken. Guess what? She loves wearing pretty bonnets. And she specializes in planning parties. She's terrific at that. My readers love her.

A Tractor Named Wilbur featured on Reader's Magnet!

 

I appreciate the opportunity to discuss my first picture book, A Tractor Named Wilbur- Friendships Last Forever today. It is the winner of the prestigious Mom’s Choice Gold Medal.  Thank you, Author’s Lounge, for the invitation to introduce Wilbur’s story to your audience.

Wilbur is a cheerful little red tractor who loved helping his friend Jim. Wilbur has known Jim for five years. In the morning, Jim would typically open the barn door and say, “Top o’ the mornin’ to you, Wilbur.” In the summer Wilbur loved mowing the grass for Jim. He cut every blade of grass perfectly. Jim appreciated Wilbur’s efforts. He proved that by taking very good care of him. For example, when Wilbur’s tires were muddy, Jim hosed them off and dried them with a towel. Jim had a tool box with Wilbur’s name on it. He even covered Wilbur with a fluffy green blanket when the weather was chilly.

Although Wilbur loved cutting the grass for Jim, he wanted more things to do. Wilbur asked Jim if there were other tasks he could learn. The little red tractor was thrilled to wear chains on his tires in the winter to help keep him from slipping while he pushed the snow into neat piles. Before long, Wilbur pulled a small cart so Jim could carry gardening tools and weeds from the flower beds. He loved his life with Jim, but things were about to change.

One morning Jim opened the barn door. He didn’t say, “Top o’ the mornin’ to you Wilbur.” Of course, Wilbur noticed something was bothering Jim. He said, “Jim, you look sad. What’s wrong?”

Jim explained he wanted to buy the lot across the street so he could have his own vegetable garden. Wilbur answered, “That’s exciting. Why are you sad?”

Jim whispered, “Wilbur, you’re getting o-l-d-e-r.” He told his little tractor that he would feel very sad if Wilbur got hurt while mowing that big field. Jim felt he needed a new tractor.

When he heard the news, Wilbur’s body shook and tears cascaded down his headlights. Wilbur stomped his tires, insisting he didn’t want to leave. 

The next day, Jim came into the barn to visit Wilbur. He washed Wilbur’s headlights with warm soapy water. He patted the little tractor and reassured him that he would find a new home for Wilbur with someone who loved him.

Endorsement:

This is a lovely story about a tractor called Wilbur, that should appeal to both young boys and girls with not only an adorable red tractor, but also Susie squirrel and Hattie the chicken.

What I liked most about this story, is it's an easy read, that brings the little tractor to life with adorable life-like traits, such as bouncing on his tires when he's excited, flashing his headlights and sadly, when tears trickled down his headlights.

This book teaches responsibility and appreciation of owning something like a tractor, with the owner Jim meticulously caring for the tractor each day. Also Wilbur's excellent attitude to trying new jobs; such as raking leaves and plowing snow. The book also teaches children to see the bright side and that changes in life are not always bad. A lovely tale, that will capture children's imagination and I am sure will become a night-time favourite. “ ~ Hollie Anne Marsh, children’s author

Helping children understand how life can change

September 11, 2019

This is a wonderful story about a man and the tractor he loves with all his heart. They work together day in and day out, happy to be in each other’s company.

But then, the unimaginable happens: life changes. The man decides to buy more property. It’s more land than he can “work” with his little tractor, and so, the man is forced to find a new home for his friend.

Yes, in ways it’s sad. But it does teach us—and our children—that life brings many changes, and we must try to ensure that when these changes occur, everyone is taken care of.

Wilbur the tractor

September 12, 2019

Format: Kindle Edition

I was given a free copy of the book by the author for a an honest review.

What a sweet story about a tractor names Wilbur. He loves to work for his owner Jim, and strives to do his best, was he does. Cutting grass in Jim's yard, pulling the trailer, ploughing snow.
But one day it all changes. Jim wants to buy another property and Wilbur would be too small for doing the task there, and he was getting old.
Wilbur is very sad and his tears run down. Jim tries to easy him and put a blanked on him.
The story shows, that changes can come any time and one has to be prepared for it.
A wonderful story for boys and girls. They would love the story and the wonderful drawings of Wilbur.

Sensitive and educative book

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2021

In the last two evenings I read with my 7 y.o. son the beautiful story about the red tractor Wilbur. My son liked the book and I think that the plot is suitable for every child.
In the end of the book you will also find questions from the author that the kids will love to answer together with their parents. Highly recommended.
