Otis is a special tractor. He loves his farm and farmer. He particularly loves the little calf in the next stall, whom he purrs to sleep with his soft motor. The two become great friends, romping in the fields, leaping bales of hay and playing ring-around-the-rosy by Mud Pond. But when the big yellow tractor comes to the farm and replaces Otis, he is cast away to rust behind the barn - until the little calf gets stuck in Mud Pond. Then there is only one tractor (and it's not big or yellow) who saves the day. It's little Otis!

Based on a song by the acclaimed musician Gordon Titcomb, this is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to a bygone era when everyone traveled by train. Titcomb's lyrics are evenly matched by Wendell Minor's sumptuous paintings. The Last Train is a book for train lovers, American History buffs, and everyone else.
