Short poems describe the eating habits of many different kinds of animals.

When Farmer Brown's cows find a typewriter in the barn they start making demands, and go on strike when the farmer refuses to give them what they want.

While Farmer Brown sleeps, his animals prepare for a talent show at the county fair.

When Cocoa, a horse, decides to explore the house, Cowgirl Kate has a hard time convincing him he must return to the barn.

A counting story from one to ten in which a farmer's animals sneak away for a fishing expedition while he sleeps.

When Farmer Brown and the animals are invited to Farm Day at school, he instructs them to be on their best behavior, forgetting that school can be like a barnyard.

Everyone wants to look their best for the party. But Little Duck has never had a birthday before so how better to learn how to prepare than to do what all the other animals do! The sheep trim their wool so Little Duck trims her feathers. The pigs need a mud bath so Little Duck squishes and squashes, too.

When Farmer Brown goes on vacation, leaving his brother Bob in charge, Duck makes trouble by changing all the instructions to notes the animals like much better.

Cocoa the horse herds the cows with Cowgirl Kate, helps her practice her roping skills, and wishes he could wear boots instead of horseshoes.
