Farmer Greenstalk and his family have the darnedest luck. Broken-down tractors, kites stuck in trees - they're always having problems! It's a good thing they have such helpful farm animals on hand. This time around, the pigs want to pitch in, and, boy, do they ever! The Greenstalks soon find, though, that life might just be a little easier without their help.

Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows like to type. All day long he hears Click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety, clack, moo. But Farmer Brown's problems REALLY begin when his cows start leaving him notes...

Otis is a special tractor. He loves his farm and farmer. He particularly loves the little calf in the next stall, whom he purrs to sleep with his soft motor. The two become great friends, romping in the fields, leaping bales of hay and playing ring-around-the-rosy by Mud Pond. But when the big yellow tractor comes to the farm and replaces Otis, he is cast away to rust behind the barn - until the little calf gets stuck in Mud Pond. Then there is only one tractor (and it's not big or yellow) who saves the day. It's little Otis!

A Moo-sical Tale of Hearts and Herds

This is the all-singing, all-dancing, hard-riding, and high-romancing story of a lasso-tossin' cowgirl, a tough-as-jerky cowboy, and the two herds of do-si-do-ing, polka-prancing, high-stepping heifers that bring them together.
