Old MacDonald on the Move by Philip Ardagh presents a delightful twist on a beloved nursery rhyme. Old MacDonald's farm is falling apart! The piggies’ sty is sinking in the mud, and it’s raining on the cows.

What will Old MacDonald do? Surely he won't move the animals to a nearby fancy hotel? Imagine the cows ordering grass in the restaurant, the pigs splashing in the pool, and the sheep having a pillow-fight. It could all just be … TOO MUCH FUN!

From the author of Bunnies on the Bus comes an unexpected, action-packed, and utterly silly adventure that will have little ones rolling around in laughter, hollering "E-I-E-I-O!"
