This tale of a terrific tractor takes the time to tell of a towering task.  The tiny tractor trundles toward a tempest of  towing trouble. A total triumph of a tractor tale!

    Moms and moppets maneuver Maine mountain, making menu of mazarine morsels. Mischievous mayhem materializes: moppets misplaced! Maternal mistrust materializes — maybe a monster! Mercifully, mutatis mutandis, mistakes are mitigated.

    Hunger Games
    Arrows and adventure arrive at annual arena antagonism. Adolescents attack alike adversaries attempting absolute acquiescence. Authorities amused, admire abilities, as audience accepts authoritarian administration.

    Lord of the Loop:
    Land of legend, lore and lore-master, this lithe libretto is a long-laster. A life of learning lies in line. For our little leige is left lone limitation. For in lease of leaf, in leiu of legendary law, or in listen of lyrical Lothlorien’s leafy luster, last is libation. For as long is the lure, as lone is the leader.

    The Hobbit
    Tricksy treasure thief treks tirelessly, tackles timidity, to terminate in the taunting of a terrible titan. Tremendous tour de force!

    Blueberries For Sal
    Blueberries, berry-pickers, black bears, bravo! Bantam beginners bumble, befuddle begetters! But by back of book, babies bide beatifically by beast and bosom.

    Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus
    A petulant and perturbed pest pleads plaintively: Pretty please? Prayers pointedly prohibited.

      Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus
      Public plug prohibits pigeon piloting public pick-upper. Premeditating and pesky pigeon persists and petitions piloting. Pensive pigeon’s prayer precluded; possible portage post? Parable pleases people and pigeons proportionately.

    Hunger Games
    Killer kids compete against crazy characters. Careless council controls competition. Can Katniss kill all/come out clean?
