Synopses & Reviews
Mr. McDuffel forgets to lock the door behind him, so eight silly farm animals march into his house, much to his cats dismay. As the clock strikes each passing hour, the animals have a ball playing dress-up, dancing, making lunch, and in general creating chaos until Mr. McDuffel returns at four to find them scattered throughout the house, fast asleep.
Review
"A terrific read-to book, with surprises tucked into the illustrations and story." Booklist, ALA
