When it comes to having fun, everyone speaks the same language!
“OldMacDonald Had a Farm” goes multicultural in this rollickingSpanish-English rendition. An abundance of onomatopoeia andtongue-twisters encourages children to laugh and sing along. Thecolorful illustrations perfectly match the silly text, comparing the twofarms and their playful, singing animals.
The barnyard animalson Old MacDonald’s and Señor Pancho’s farms have a hard timecommunicating. MacDonald’s rooster says cock-a doodle-doo! while SeñorPancho’s gallo says quiquiriquí. The English-speaking chick says peep,peep, but el pollito says pio, pio. Then the cow says moo—and la vacasays mu! Maybe they’re not so different after all! The animals cometogether for a barnyard fiesta in a celebration of languages.
A pronunciation guide is included for readers and teachers. This book was awarded Bank Street’s Book of the Year.
