E-I-UFO: Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Get ready to sing and laugh along with this intergalactic twist on the classic children’s song ＂Old MacDonald Had a Farm＂ in a rollicking picture book from author Zach von Zonk and beloved illustrator Benjamin Chaud!

Old MacDonald had a farm--that is, until an alien spirits his animals away in a UFO. Now, Old MacMartian has a farm--in space--and young readers will delight in the out-of-this-world hijinks that result when cows, pigs, sheep, and more create chaos in his spaceship.

With a zerp zap and a zerp zap there, colorful and detail-rich illustrations bring this hilarious tale to life as Old MacMartian and his faithful three-eyed dog get a bit more than they bargained for with their messy, hungry, noisy, and mischievous new barnyard companions. E-I-UFO!
