Otis (20 copies) + Jumpstart’s Read for the Record® Otis Storytelling Kit

Otis is a special tractor. He loves his farmer and he loves to work. And he loves the little calf in the next stall, whom he purrs to sleep with his soft motor. In fact, the two become great friends: they play in the fields, leap hay bales, and play ring-around-the-rosy by Mud Pond.

But when Otis is replaced with the big yellow tractor, he is cast away behind the barn, unused, unnoticed...until the little calf gets stuck in Mud Pond. Then there is only one tractor--and it's not big or yellow--who can come to the rescue. It is little old Otis who saves his friend. It is Otis who saves the day.

Continue the adventure of Otis with Jumpstart’s Read for the Record® Otis Storytelling Kit. Created by Jumpstart’s early childhood education experts, the kit allows you to further engage in the story, and bring the characters into your living room or classroom with a felt storyboard. Whether you’re working with two children or 200, everyone can help bring the story to life.

SPECIAL ADD-ON: By purchasing Otis on the First Book Marketplace, you will also receive a free downloadable copy of Farms Reading Adventure Pack, complete with creative activities, parent support tools, and additional reading suggestions on the topic of farms. This opportunity is made possible thanks to our partners at Reading Rockets.
