Summary:"Barnaby loves life on the farm, except for when his shepherds want to snip, snip, snip away his wool. As the clippers draw near, Barnaby's fears bubble up like a storm. Why does anyone need his wool? When the dreaded day arrives, Barnaby's ingenuity leads him on a daring escape, seeking refuge in a cave. But as time passes, he learns that freedom comes with its own challenges. With his wool growing thicker and his hunger gnawing, Barnaby realizes something crucial--he misses home. As the nights grow colder and loneliness sets in, Barnaby's longing for his flock intensifies. But just when all seems lost, a familiar call pierces the darkness. Could it be his shepherds searching for him?" --
