When Burdock the barn cat overhears the farmer's plan to burn down the barn, apparently with the animals in it, the residents of the barn put their heads together and devise an escape plan that uses everyone's skills. This simple tale of teamwork with chatty animal dialogue and crosshatched pencil drawings reads like an homage to Charlotte's Web.
