The animals on the Buttercup Farm are in a tizzy! They’re about to have a new addition from Australia and are worried if they might be replaced.

The Rooster wonders if she can crow and the cow is concerned if she can give milk. The sheepdog, horse and the rest are worried too. 

And then, she appears ‘leaping and bounding.’ :-) Yes, you must have guessed the mystery animal by now. 

Excerpt

“What if she can catch mice?” said Cat.

“What if she catches all the mice in the barn and a few rats too? Maybe even the spiders would be scared to live there. Then the farmer would get rid of me, and I would become a stray, foraging for food in dustbins.

Miaow!

I’d miss my milk and sardines!
