Old MacDonald's farm is falling apart! The piggies sty is sinking in the mud and its raining on the cows...
What will Old MacDonald do Surely he won't move the animals to a nearby fancy hotel
The cows would order grass in the restaurant, the pigs would splash in the pool and the sheep would have a pillow-fight. It could all just be TOO MUCH FUN!
From the author of Bunnies on the Bus comes an unexpected, action-packed and utterly silly twist on children's all-time favourite nursery rhyme that will have little ones rolling around in laughter, hollering "E-I-E-I-O!"
