About the Author

Tractor Tom combines classic themes with modern twists and production values. The tale of a tractor and his friends and adventures has its roots in the likes of Thomas the Tank Engine, but this show has a decidedly cutting-edge feel, with computer-generated animation. Contender's brave, resourceful little Tractor Tom is set to be a major global success story with worldwide interest from broadcasters including commitment from RTE Ireland, CBC Canada, TV2 Denmark, and Norway. Tom and his loveable farmyard friends are supported by a fantastic range of toys, books and videos plus clothes, home wares, games and puzzles. Bright CGI animation and stories full of fun and adventure make this series a winner!
