About This Book
Here's a secret: Class One is visiting a farm, and there's a sneaky bull causing trouble! No one notices it at first, but when the gate crashes down, things get wild. And just when you think it can't get any crazier, the kids pull out a giant pair of red knickers—but that's only the beginning.
