Come along on a side-splittingly funny adventure and meet the tractors with a big secret ... they're going to space!

Life on the farm doesn't change much for tractors, so when an out-of-this-world adventure is suggested, they rustle up a spaceship and strap in for takeoff, ready to take on space! Battle weightlessness, navigate around black holes, and explore the wonders of our universe with these silly farmyard machines. With lots of heart and hilarious illustrations by award-winning artist Alex Willmore, budding astronauts and tractor lovers will delight in getting to know their new tractor friends while exploring space and our solar system.

Why chug around the farm when you could go on a cosmic adventure with the spectacularly silly space tractors?!
