When the mares labor becomes difficult on Christmas Eve, a vet is needed--but the truck is stuck in a snowdrift. Otis makes a brave decision: Hell get Doc. Plowing through the woods on a rescue mission, he finds himself on a difficult path. Longs text conveys not just the danger, "treacherous, slippery," but also Otis effort, "putt puff puttedy chuff." . . . The illustrations wonderfully enhance the story, from the joy of the animals prancing around the Christmas tree to Otis expressive response to the events around him: pride in his gift, concern for his friend, determination to arrive at his destination. Highlighting the always-changing perspective, aerial scenes give readers a sense of the big, snowy picture. Longs palette reflects the coldness and heaviness of the snow, and then lightness as the farmer prays for a miracle. The view into the barn door, once all is well, is reminiscent of another barn birth, and the text reads, "Well, would you look at that!" That sums things up nicely."--Booklist, starred review "Charming and full of the warmth and love of friends and family, this choice is lovely for sharing."--The Repository Review Quote The New York Times bestseller! * "Otis the Tractor returns in a Christmas story of courage and friendship set in a terrible snowstorm at the farm.
