The Great Hay Bale Roll

One runaway hay bale. Seven surprised farm friends. One very wild ride!

A sunny morning on the farm takes an unexpected turn when a tractor hits a hole and sends a hay bale bouncing down the track. It rolls, it rumbles, and it scoops up a fluffy Highland cow who certainly wasn't planning on going anywhere!

And then... along comes another animal.

A stubborn donkey, a woolly sheep, a playful dog, a flapping goose, a sleepy cat, and a snack-loving mouse find themselves swept into the growing tumble of hay. With hooves in the air, tails sticking out, and surprised faces turning every which way, this farmyard adventure keeps getting sillier.

But then... a curious little fly arrives with a gleam in her eye. Where will this runaway ride end?

The Great Hay Bale Roll brings together playful rhymes, familiar animal sounds, a repeating refrain, and colorful illustrations that invite children to laugh, predict, and join in. Each new encounter builds anticipation, making this lively picture book a fun choice for family reading, classroom storytime, and young animal lovers.

Featuring the familiar farm friends from The Sleepy Barn, Carolyn Hanna Crawford's newest barnyard adventure proves that even an ordinary morning can turn into an extraordinary tale!
