Summary

Matilda is a young, gray tabby and a newcomer to the Meadow Green Farm. Feeling lonely she searches for new friends. She meets an older cat named Socks who also lives on the farm. Matilda soon learns that her energetic and playful attitude does not mesh well with Sock’s laid back demeanor. In order to earn Socks’ respect, Matilda decides to attempt the daunting task of climbing the high beams of the barn. However, once she reaches the highest point, she freezes with fear. Socks realizes she is missing and tries to get the horses to help find her. In their mission to get her down, Matilda learns that her fellow barn animals do care about her; they just have different ways of showing their feelings and building friendships. Through colorful illustrations and an endearing story, this latest addition to the "Let's Talk Series" teaches children that affection, friendship and caring comes in many forms.

Excerpts

Matilda noticed that Socks was a very good climber.
He would climb high into the rafters above the horse stalls and walk the narrow wooden beams with ease.

Matilda decided that if she too could climb way up high, and maybe even somehow fly back down, then Socks would not think she was so silly and he might
even like her.

So, one night when the barn was empty of humans and the horses started chatting about the day’s events, Matilda started to climb up to the rafters.

She didn’t tell anyone about her plan, because she wanted to impress everyone, especially Socks.

Up, up, up Matilda climbed. She climbed higher than she had ever climbed before.

Finally, Matilda reached the top, crept out onto a big beam and then looked down.

“Oh my,” she said, shivering and shaking. “What have I done? This is so scary. I cannot fly. I will never get down!

“Socks is right. I am just a silly cat who does not know anything, and now look what I have done: I am stuck here!”
