Description:

Who was Old MacDonald before he ever had a farm? This funny, imaginative picture book answers that question with a delightful backstory. Once there lived a tidy, orderly man who loved his neat home and definitely did not like animals. Then one day, a cat wanders in — and to his surprise, the man discovers they actually have quite a lot in common, from napping habits to a shared love of watching the rain. Maybe just this one animal could stay. But soon a dog arrives too, and then more, until the man's once-spotless home is happily overflowing with animal friends. Told in simple, playful text and brought to life through LeUyen Pham's warm, expressive illustrations, this heartfelt tale celebrates staying open to change — and hints, with a wink, at a very familiar nursery rhyme ending.
