About This Book

The narrative follows a returned farm goat and his friends—a dog and a cat—whose homecoming sparks warm reunions and a sequence of lighthearted, episodic adventures among the barnyard community. Episodes range from welcome festivities, playful contests and staged spectacles to mischiefs such as a mock bull fight, a Neptune pageant, runaway and rescue incidents, a stolen pair of youngsters, kitchen and household mishaps, and an unexpected stint in a motion picture. Through humorous setbacks and cooperative problem-solving, the animals’ camaraderie and inventive responses sustain a lively, gently comic portrait of rural animal life.
