Summary
In this book Old Macdonald goes through everything that he has to do in the day. The story talks about what a farmer has to do. It talks about him pulling a seeder, watering the land, cutting down the wheat field, spreading manure, harvesting his crop, and pulling all of the animals to the fair with his tractor. In the end after working all day the farmer climbs up his stairs to bed.
Personal Response
This book wasn't the best book I read but it was entertaining. I thought that the pictures were necessary for this story because they show what some words mean. Many children do not live on a farm so they have never seen a tractor. This book would be a wonderful one to read before or after a trip to the farm. A child would be much more interested if he or she has actually seen the things that are in the book.
Potential Problems
I couldn't find any potential problems in this book.
Recommended to...
I would recommend this book to young children that are learning about animals on a farm. This would be a wonderful book to read before or after going to a farm.
