Old MacDonald Had a . . . Zoo? (Hardcover)

In this extended retelling of the classic “Old MacDonald Had a Farm,” readers will be charmed with the usual moo! moo! here and there and delighted by the appearance of a kangaroo, elephant, and zebra joining the fun.

Old MacDonald had a farm, but something is off.  His farm has been taken over by kangaroos, elephants, and even a crocodile!  OH MY!  The old farmer eventually figures out what’s happened, rounds the newcomers up, and brings them back where they belong–the nearby zoo.  This book is read in the sing-song told of the old fashioned rhyme updated for a wild time at the zoo.  My preschooler loved the funny sounds and the surprise of each animal that Old MacDonald discovers.  Cute!
