John Deere, That’s Who!

Written by Tracy Nelson Maurer, Illustrated by Tim Zeltner

This book is interesting and colorful. It’s a quick read and informative. The stains and glazes the illustrator Tim Zeltner used are colorful and interesting while at the same time giving the feeling of being antique. The art work on the cover caught my attention causing me to want to read the book. Tracy Maurer, the author, presents her information more like a story, and you almost forget you are reading nonfiction. She uses the refrain “John Deere, that’s who!” through out the book in a way that ties the story together well. I recommend purchasing this interesting book.
