Guns, whiskey and barnyard animals are a questionable mix,
By Gina P. "wugrad" (Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Old Macdonald Had a Farm (Classic Books) (Board book)
I'm really torn on this book. The animals and the format are wonderful. The illustrations are cute. I was surprised when I got four pages into it, and Old Macdonald had a shotgun. Then by the end of the book, he was squeezing the last drop out of his whiskey bottle. I would love to see the publisher update the book and replace these drawings. I'm all for free speech and letting kids read the classics in school and not banning books. I'm just not ready to explain guns and alcoholism to my toddler. I don't know whether to take the book away from her or let her read it and hope she never asks.

A great way to teach animals, sounds, and love of reading,
By
This review is from: Old Macdonald Had a Farm (Classic Books) (Board book)
We like this book because each page reveals a new animal that was hiding on Old MacDonald's farm. Each page also reveals the noise that animal makes right along with the famous kids' song. The cutouts, hidden animals, escalating noise on the farm, and the farmer's increasing discomfort make for a fun read. At the very end, a whole new slew of animals and noises are presented, just in case you still have breath in you to keep on singing.
The illustrations are fantastic. They are fun, colorful, and present animals behaving in pretty funny ways. This is a repeat read, as so many kids' books are.

Very Traditional - Kinda boring,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Old Macdonald Had a Farm (Classic Books) (Kindle Edition)
I got this because of the colorful pictures on the cover and thought that my 3yr old would enjoy it. All the pages have almost the exact same picture on it, with a different animal in the same phrase on every page. It was ok for the first 3 pages, then I couldnt see going through the whole farm for this one. I ended up going to a different book because it was wayyyy too redundant. I know the song is, but i would expect better illustation.
