All night long, King Flash thought and thought and planned and planned. He paced around in circles, swished his long, silky tail, and barely slept a wink. Finally, around dawn, he thought of a plan! Have you ever wondered what goes on behind closed barn doors? Well, you don't have to wonder anymore! This is a tale of tails you won't soon forget. Join in on the fur-filled adventures of a lovable cast of barnyard animals. Will King Flash, the wisest old horse on the farm, be able to devise a plan that will make all his critter friends tail-wagging happy? Though he's confined to his stall, will he be able to teach NC, the barnyard bully, a lesson? He'll need the help of all his friends with tails to do it! Along the way, the barnyard crew has plenty of fun discovering why dogs sometimes quack and why you never, ever want to be banished from Castle Hill Acres. So, are you ready for an adventure from The Tails of Castle Hill Acres?
