The Spanish translation of New York Times bestselling author/artist Loren Long's unforgettable children's classic.

Otis es un tractor especial.

Otis quiere a su granjero y le encanta trabajar. También es un buen amigo del ternerito que duerme en la casilla vecina. Pero cuando Otis fue reemplazado por un enorme tratcor amarillo, lo abandonan detrás del establo, inutilizado, desapercibio...hasta que el ternerito quedó atascado en Charco Lodo. Solamente un tractor podrá venir a rescatarlo. ¿Será Otis el que puede salvar el día? 

Praise for Otis...
