Old MacDonald on the Move

Ardagh’s riotous rhyming romp featuring a happy farmyard in total chaos is brought to vibrant life by Karipidou’s bright and punchy artwork. You’d be moo-moo mad to miss it! – Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Post *
The answers lie in this hilarious reimagination of the traditional yarn complete with memorable rhyme, rhythm and refrain accompanied by bold, hilarious illustrations that are so much fun to pore over and discover new things each time, particularly looking for the mice. And Old MacDonald’s solution and the twist in the end is exquisite – and perfect. Like the original, this is one our youngest readers are going to love hearing, joining in, acting out and laughing out loud as they share in the joy and delight of an old story retold. My preschoolers will adore this! * The Bottom Shelf *
