I actually don’t particularly recommend the book we used, it was okay, but it was just a generic book about tractors and didn’t hold their attention to well.
I can’t even find it on amazon…….
Well after reading all about tractors and talking about John Deere and his plans to make farmers lives better, we all went to the table and designed our own wonder-invention.
It was amusing to see what all they came up with.
This is Superman’s (in the picture above), his invention helps you get corn. That’s the farmer riding inside of the corn growing machine.
Here’s what the printable looks like. If you’d like to download it, just click on the link and it’ll head right over to Scribd.
I think it's pretty cool that you decided to study John Deere for VT 🙂 Did you know that we live SO close to VT? We can almost say we're Vermonters! I have family who live there.
At my husband's family's farm, John Deere is the equipment of choice…those big green tractors can't be beat!!
Superman's picture is hilarious! You have fabulously creative kids!!!
We actually have about 5 John Deere books…seriously…some are board books, others are stories featuring Johnny Tractor.
How neat. And, I still have the RI stuff…..ugh!
What an imagination. My question is where at in the corn making machine did the man sit?
Count me in as one who learned something new today. I've always associated John Deere with the Midwest. I had no idea he was raised in Vermont. In high school I shadowed a female mechanical engineer that worked for John Deere. I learned all about their backhoes.
