| Publisher Description: Dusty is a young boy who lives on a dairy farm with his mom and dad. He helps his dad with milking the cows, cleaning the milking equipment, and pitching hay. On weekends, after completing his chores in the dairy barn, he enjoys dribbling and tossing his basketball into the hoop above the barn door. Dusty loves basketball and hopes to someday become a basketball player. One morning, after his chores and breakfast, he grabs his basketball and heads outside, but his mother reminds him to drink his milk before he goes out. Since Dusty spends his mornings working in the dairy barn, he begins to feel surrounded by milk and so he develops a dislike for the drink. When his mother goes outside to hang out clothes, Dusty hides his milk in the refrigerator, grabs his basketball, and sneaks outside. He dribbles and tosses his basketball at the hoop for a while until he aims too high and his basketball sails into the hayloft through the open door. With the ladder missing, Dusty has to try to figure out how to get his basketball out of the hayloft. Nearby, he sees a milk can without a lid and drags it over to use as a ladder. As he stands on the milk can and struggles to kick the basketball loose from a rafter, he loses his footing and one of his legs slides down into the milk can and gets stuck Frustrated and in pain, he feels that he just can't seem to get away from milk Now, he has to figure out how to get back to the house and get his leg out of the milk can without his mother seeing the trouble he's gotten himself into. |
