‘Old MacDonald had a coo
ee-I-ee-I-oo
She loved that coo; it loved her too!
ee-I-ee-I-oo’

A funny and chaotic Scottish twist on the favourite nursery rhyme. Old MacDonald’s pig dances a jig, her bees make her sneeze, her goose flaps about the hoose and her sheep jumps in the compost heap. Old MacDonald loves her noisy, messy menagerie, but sometimes she just wants some peace and quiet!

Kate McLelland, illustrator of bestselling picture book There was a Wee Lassie Who Swallowed a Midgie, brings a Scottish croft and a host of farm animals to life in her bold and colourful style. This quirky and fun picture book, created in Scotland, is a unique adaptation of the classic rhyme Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Children from Scotland — and everywhere — will love singing along!
