"I bet I can drive a tractor," he said. The other animals weren't so sure, but they all said, "Well, if he can ride a bike, maybe he can drive a tractor, too!" Down on the farm, Duck sometimes got wild ideas. Once he rode a bike all around the barnyard. It was fun! Then he spotted the big red tractor. "I bet I can drive a tractor," he said. Duck jumped on. At first it moved very slowly, and it jerked a lot, but it was exciting! "Climb on, everybody!" Duck shouted to all the animals. Before long, Cow, Chicken, Sheep, Dog, Goat, and the others were all going for a ride through the middle of town—right past the crowded diner. "I must be seeing things!" said a man named Otis. "Holy cow!" hollered Manny the Cook. What would happen next? Come along and join the fun as award-winner David Shannon artfully combined bold, bright illustrations with an irresistible story that begs to be read again and again.
