“Utah author Ken Baker gives a new twist to an old nonsense song with a sudden conclusion that will assuredly bring giggles and demands to ‘read it again!’ The clever script is laced with puns, such as the cow having a ‘beef’ with Old MacDonald, who retorts that the animal is ‘bull-headed.’ Reading aloud is a must to catch the delicious alliterations…Bold, digitally rendered cartoon-like artwork captures the humor and carries the story through a fresh new version that will delight young listeners who may want to sing and act out the whole adventure.” —Marilou Sorensen, Deseret News
