With a zztt zztt here, and a zztt zztt there, here a zztt, there a zztt, everywhere a zztt zztt! Together with the other farm animals, Old MacDonald is building a surprise for the babies on the farm. Saw, drill, chisel, file, screwdriver, paintbrush are operated by cat, goat, chicken, pig, cow and dog. With a swish swash here and a swish swash there, and a whole lot of other sounds, there's a miniature toy farm being made-just for the baby animals. A twist on the familiar nursery song, this is sure to be a hit with any kid who loves tools or loves to sing.
The fun noises, the familiar song, colorful illustrations and terrific ending make this a particularly good book to read to a group of children.

We came across this in our daughter's playgroup and had to own it -- it's a lovely version of the old song but integrates "non-standard" gender views by letting female animals take charge in the woodshop. The sounds accompanying each tool are wonderful, as are the illustrations. Our two-year old loves it and wants to spend more time in the garage now!
Great book - cute and good values

This book is definitely worth having. Our 2 1/4 year old son (who likes tools and loves music) loved the twist on a familiar and loved song. The depiction of Old MacDonald as a sheep and as a female!!!! who has a woodshop!!!! makes this a must have book to balance out, for both boys and girls, the lack of gender-neutral characters and over representation of gender-stereotypes that is ubquitious in both books and songs. The sounds used for the various tools are not that good so you may want to make up your own but otherwise the pictures and text are good and what Old MacDonald and the animals are building makes for a cute surprise ending.
Too CUTE!
