After a twister scatters his animals, a farmer finds himself left with a farm full of scrap metal and machine parts. The resilient old-timer uses the parts to invent chick-bots, a sheep-bot, and other helpful animal robots. This salute to ingenuity features a determined and capable senior citizen. The amusing industrial-hued illustrations with pops of color honor the farmer's imaginative vision.
