Pat Cummins presents a joyful picture book for ages 3+ about the loving relationship between a dad and his child, based on Pat's farm, where the animals are treated like pets.

The cows have broken the fence!
The sheep are acting funny.
There's a boat that has to be put into a tree!
And someone really must stop the birds from eating all the apples!

There's no end of work for Farmer Pat, his son Albie and their dog Normie. But that's not a problem because Farmer Pat always knows exactly what to do! Kind of.

A rollicking father-son adventure that captures a laugh-out-loud day on the farm, while featuring a cheeky cast of native Australian animals.

This heartwarming book is the creation of Australian Cricket Captain, L-plate farmer and proud dad of Albie, Pat Cummins, with acclaimed author, Michael Wagner, and bestselling illustrator, Louis Shea.
