This is a fun and charming adaptation of the old song/story, Old MacDonald’s Farm.  In this story, the animals on the farm have put on a “Way Off-Broadway Production” of the story.

The story is filled with sound effects and funny repetitions, that would be great fun as a read- aloud to young children.  And of course, the funny antics as lots of animals try to join the production, including many not so traditional farm animals!  The text is silly, fun, simple and the illustrations are charming and colorful.
