Jack loves visiting with children on the farm. But one day, no one comes to play, and Jack is bored, Bored...BORED!

"So Jack performs his favorite trick.
He lifts his latch with one soft click.
Two hinges creeeak. Jack loves that sound!
He clip-clops out to look around."

​Jack is a rather silly horse. And when bored, he takes it upon himself to unlatch his stall and go for an adventure through the farm before escaping into the neighbor's garden for a snack. This rhyming story counts up to ten as Jack makes his way across the farm and then back down as he races home with the neighbor hot on his heels!
