Same old thing, day in, day out? There must be more to life than that, she thinks to herself. Without further ado she asks Kuddel the pig to swap with her, and spends a wonderfully lazy day in his sunny spot. But this clever manoeuvre doesn’t stay a secret for long. Before she knows it, all the animals in the farmyard are swapping homes and jobs. All of them? No! Emma the sheep seems to have missed out - that is until Farmer Michel comes out of the house to get his breakfast egg, just like he does every morning …

This book is a farmyard full of fun and fancy! And all the while we learn that pigs don’t lay eggs and rabbits don’t give milk.
