<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The scarecrow from Old Mac Donald's farm emcees a barnyard theater production that collapses into hilarious chaos in this rollicking rendition of "The House That Jack Built." <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The scarecrow from Old Mac Donald's farm emcees a barnyard theater production that collapses into hilarious chaos in this rollicking rendition of "The House That Jack Built."</b> <p/> It's showtime on Old Mac Donald's Farm! The barnyard animals are putting on a play--a farm version of "The House That Jack Built"-- but other animals keep taking the stage and interrupting the production. First some rambunctious monkeys, then breakdancing kangaroos . . . there's even a pair of singing elephants. Everyone knows that monkeys, kangaroos, and elephants do NOT belong on a farm . . . so what to do? <p/> Bursting with sound effects and rollicking repetition that will have kids clamoring for repeat readings, this hilarious mashup of two favorite nursery rhymes shows that perseverance and teamwork pay off, and that sometimes you just have to roll with the unexpected and try to have fun with it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Lots of word repetition and animal sound effects, combined with Urbanovic's comically expressive cartoon illustrations, make this a rollicking read-aloud that will encourage young readers to join in on the silliness."--<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/> "Sauer's cumulative mashup of 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm' and 'The House That Jack Built' will delight audiences familiar with both. Urbanovic's cartoon illustrations of (mostly) clothed animal performers elevate this nightmare production into a hilarious comedy of errors....No owls here, but this one is definitely a hoot." --<i>Kirkus</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Tammi Sauer, </b>a former teacher and library media specialist, is the author of many popular picture books, including <i>Quiet Wyatt, </i> illustrated by Arthur Howard, and the Nugget and Fang books, illustrated by Michael Slack.
