This story is a whole lot of fun - sure to have the little ones giggling throughout the book. Millie the cow and the other farm animals decide to play hide-and-seek. When all the good hiding places are taken, Millie still somehow manages to find the best spot at the top of a tree. When Millie can't get back down, the farm animals are happy to help. Even though nobody seems able to get her down, the animals stay calm. In fact, they've all joined Millie in the tree and make the best of their situation. Eventually, the mail carrier and fire department stop by and rescue the whole group.  It's a crazy fun book.
