It is the illustrations that make this book. Foot has dispersed humour through her pictures with Old McDonald getting chased by a cheeky Emu, taking a bath under the water tank, and kangaroos jumping fences. It ends with a jamboree of animals. Children can also count how many kookaburras are on each page starting with one to ten.
The book also has its own website http://www.oldmacdonaldsfarm.com.au/ where children can scroll through a farm scene based on the book, listen to the song and get information about the animals in the book. There are also some activities that can be downloaded.
This was a wonderful and fun book that combines rhyming and counting. 8/10
