Timmy the Tractor Truck Train: Danger at the Dam! by Seth Warburton is the story of Kenny and his best friend, Timmy, who is a truck. Timmy has magical powers, including the ability to talk and transform into a tractor or train, and back to his original state. One day, Timmy is faced with one of his greatest challenges yet, which is saving the town from a dangerous flood caused by an accident at the dam. To save the town, Timmy must turn himself into a train that will carry dirt into the dam. But will the slow speed of a train hinder the saving of the town? Will Timmy save the day as usual? Read this exciting, educational, and engaging book to find out.

Timmy the Tractor Truck Train by Seth Warburton is an inspiring and adventurous children's book that explores themes such as grit, bravery, empathy, teamwork, humility, hope, and doubt. I love how the book encourages young readers to face their fears and embrace faith, no matter how difficult the problem seems. It also teaches children how to be good friends and to encourage their friends in their down times. This is seen in how Kenny treated Timmy when he was at his lowest. The author sparks creativity in the minds of young readers by encouraging problem-solving skills in the face of challenges, making them aware of different vehicles and their uses. The use of imagery and figurative language makes the book relatable and engaging. The extra page for questions and answers makes the young reader keen to listen and pay attention to details. The beautiful and intriguing illustrations by C. Silva bring every page to life. I recommend it to schools and families.
