 A rollicking romp told in narrative verse. It is a crisp autumn day on the farm. The crops have been gathered and stored. Barnabus, the barnyard cat, snoozes lazily atop his favorite haystack. But in the hills overlooking the fields, a hulking, rumpled, brute of a rat has gathered a small army to make off with the precious grain.
As evening melds to darkness and the rats descend on the farm, Barnabus rises to the challenge in a spirited and comical battle, proving his true worth to the farm.
