Old MacDonald, of MacDonald's Farm, is the talk of the cattle market and the most eligible pensioner in the paddock.

He just needs to find the right things to spend it on...Find out what happens when Old MacDonald wins the lottery, sells his farm and buys a zoo. And what a zoo it is...

Ellie and I couldn't wait to read this book together, she loves reading just as much as I do! She is a proper little book worm and her reading has come a long way the past few months! There's nothing she would rather do than read a book! 'Old Macdonald had a zoo' was no exception.
Ellie loved the story of this book and as we were reading we sang the tune to the words of 'Old Macdonald' "It's like old macdonalds farm rhyme about a zoo instead" Ellie said!
It's a really lovely picture book, beautifully illustrated and easy enough for Ellie to read on her own (well mostly!), she's six years old and loved reading this book!
Her favourite part of the book was 'with a stomp stomp here...' this page had a lovely pop up page or 'flip-tastic flap' which Ellie thought was great! This book has other flaps, too! Which is a great way to keep the kids interested in the book! It really is a lovely story.
We giggled our way thru this lovely book.
We would recommend this book.
You can purchase this book from EgmontUK.
