Synopsis

Inspired by a real goat with a talent for mischief, Scout the Goat is always on the go, always curious, and always following his nose… especially when there's cherry pie involved.

When Farmer Ray loads a freshly baked pie into the truck for a trip to town, Scout can't resist. That sweet, delicious scent is calling his name, and before long, this adventurous little goat finds himself far from Stephens Farm and right in the middle of a bustling town he's never seen before.

What follows is Scout's biggest adventure yet. He meets new friends at the beauty shop and the fire station. He explores a farmer's market bursting with excitement. Scout takes it all in with wide eyes and eager hooves. But when the excitement fades, Scout realizes he's lost sight of Farmer Ray, and he has no idea how to get back to the truck.

Will Scout ever get his hooves on that cherry pie? And how will this little goat find his way home?
