Combine

Follow the combine as it heads into the fields for harvest.

This real-world rhyming story takes children through the excitement of harvest time. After days of waiting for dry weather, the combine is checked over, prepared for work and driven to the field. As it harvests the crop, children discover how the combine works and why the weather plays such an important part in bringing in the harvest.

Written especially for children who love combines and farm machinery, the story uses their fascination with vehicles as a gateway to understanding how the world works. Beautifully illustrated by Richard O'Neill, every page is filled with authentic harvest scenes that encourage children to spot familiar machinery while making connections with the world around them.

Children will discover:

• Why farmers have to wait for the right weather before harvesting.
• How a combine is prepared before heading into the field.
• How the combine harvests and collects the grain.
• How changing weather can bring the harvest to a stop.
