Otis and the Kittens

Mehr zum Buch

The #1 bestselling creator of Otis and Little Tree presents an homage to firefighters and the children who aspire to be heroes. On a farm where Otis the tractor lives, a prolonged drought has left farmers anxious about water shortages. One hot afternoon, while resting under an apple tree, Otis notices an orange tabby cat heading toward the old barn. Suddenly, he sees smoke rising from the barn—there's a fire! Otis quickly races toward the flames, accompanied by his friends, and finds the tabby cat distressed about her little kittens trapped in the hayloft. Without hesitation, Otis rescues the kittens, but their mother remains anxious. Returning to the burning barn, Otis discovers one tiny kitten too scared to move. With a friendly chuff, he encourages her to come down, and she scampers to safety just as the floor collapses, trapping Otis inside. Now, the dependable tractor must rely on his friends to help him out. This heartwarming tale, filled with playfulness and devotion, illustrates that even those we depend on sometimes need assistance themselves. From the creator of Otis and the Puppy, and the illustrator of The Little Engine That Could and Of Thee I Sing by President Barack Obama.
