Old MacDonald had a Farm - Old MacDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o. Old MacDonald is working on the farm. But he'd better watch out... the cheeky Australian animals are up to mischief!
All artwork created by hand
As with all of the nursery rhymes in this series, every illustration is hand-drawn and hand-painted to give a truly handmade, soft, and authentic feel to each book.
"Next level onomatopoeia should have kids digging like a wombat or pecking like an emu, especially in a group reading situation. If you’re choosing this for a quieter bedtime read, encourage youngsters to linger over Shanks’ delightful illustrations, which include quirky background characters and clever use of white space to highlight action elements."
- Dr Lara Cain Gray, Charming Language Blog

Praise for Matt's other books
"Matt’s vibrant and unique water-colour illustrations provide the perfect accompaniment to the lyrics of the text. I suspect this could easily become a family favourite."
