“This book is pretty good. The farm animals get tired of Mrs. Wishy-Washy bathing them in the barn, so they decide to run away to the city. They are disappointed and worried when they find out how different the "barns" are in the city than at the farm, and they're soon put in animal jail. Thankfully, Mrs. Wishy-Washy rescues them and they realize how great their home is. This book is pretty fun, but the animals are a little mean to Mrs. Wishy-Washy.”
