In the yard of Farmer Tom live Tiddles the cat, Harriet Rose the horse, Penelope Pig, and Theodora Mouse, and they have their eye on the brand-new barn on top of the hill. It is large, it is warm, it is grand, indeed. It seems like the perfect home.

Thinking no one will notice, they sneak in and settle down for the night, only to be woken by a noisy and scary surprise the next morning-Farmer Tom's new tractor-in this amusing and beautifully lyrical tale of four characters who break the rules and get more than they bargained for.

This wonderful story is complimented by vivid and humorous illustrations that perfectly capture the farmyard adventure.
