Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Description:
“Book 1 of the Tractor Adventure Series:
Wheels is a young, curious tractor, and Wheels has a lot of questions.
One question he is curious about is, ‘Can I get a virus?’
Farmer Tom, his owner, tries to answer all his questions the best he
can.”
Author:
A native of Ohio, Melannie Baum grew up on a
farm and still lives in rural Ohio with her two sons and her husband. For more,

Appraisal:
A fun read for new readers or for reading to those not quite up to
reading it themselves. Obviously inspired by the Covid-19 pandemic, this does a
good job of explaining the basics of how a virus spreads, at least this virus, and
the proper steps to limit your risk of catching it. These are all the things we’ve
been hearing constantly for the last year: social distancing, mask wearing, and
frequent hand washing. Hopefully your young reader has already learned these things
and been practicing them for a long time. I’m hopeful that vaccines and other
factors mean we’re on the downhill side of this pandemic. But as a fun way to
emphasize that we aren’t there yet, occasionally reading this book to your youngster
for his or her nightly bedtime story as a reminder seems like a reasonable
idea.

So lovely to see this book on another blog! I'm planning to review this soon and I'm curious if I'll also give it 4 stars, or maybe 5?! :)
