RURAL neighbours Farmer Big and Farmer Blurt have a problem. Mice are eating their corn. But they are leaving Farmer Smarts' fields alone.

Big and Blurt build two equally ridiculous mechanical mouse traps, which the rodents cheerfully ignore. So the farmers sneak over to see how Farmer Smarts' crops stay unnibbled.

The answer: the fattest cat you have ever seen. Great fun, pictures full of character, and a chance for dads everywhere to do a full range of silly voices.
