What Does Otis See? features Otis the tractor exploring the farm.

Here's what I like about it:

•There are only three or four simple words to each double-spread illustration, "Otis sees a calf."
•The illustrations are detailed, but simply presented with ample use of white space - not busy or distracting.
•The illustrations offer foreshadowing and invite examination. The page preceding "Otis sees a calf," depicts Otis examining a flowery meadow with the calf partially obscured by grass and flowers.
•Otis and the dog are adorable.

That Otis is an old tractor might make him unfamiliar to urban and suburban kids, but any child who has watched Disney/Pixar's Cars will certainly remember the tractor tipping scene.
