When Burdock the barn cat sneaks into the Baxters’ farmhouse kitchen to hide behind a warm stove, he overhears a sinister plot that endangers all the animals on the farm. It’s up to him and his cacophonous cohorts to figure out how to bust out of the barn before it's too late. In this winning debut, readers will fall in love with the solitary cat, the self-effacing cow, the unstoppable pig, even a wayward she-owl—all brought to life with clever dialogue, poetic descriptions, and expressive black-and-white illustrations. This warm, lively read-aloud story about teamwork and friendship has the timeless appeal of a much-loved quilt.
Editorial : From School Library Journal Gr 2–5—This story of friendship and teamwork is about a group of barn animals that functions as a close-knit family. This well-paced story told by the animals themselves is marked by a sense of anxiety as they deduce that the farmer is going to burn down the barn for the insurance money. They need to escape, but how can they get out of the locked barn? And where will they go? As the animals plot and plan, readers learn that each creature has a special gift and talent. It will take all of them working together to pull off their escape. Fans of Charlotte's Web and other gentle animal stories will enjoy this charming tale, which includes spot drawings throughout, illustrated by Bond using pen and ink. VERDICT This sweet story with a serendipitous ending has a comforting, classic feel.—Laura Fields Eason, Parker Bennett Curry Elementary School, B

In a too busy world, this is such wisdom.. Every pa
