Something suspicious is going on at the farm in The Case of Old MacDonald and His Farm, by Mark Teague.
Something mysterious—and silly!—is up at Old MacDonald’s farm. Thank goodness Officer Busby is on the case, because, as she says, “Whoever did this knew their business.” Silly business, that is. What could possibly be going on? Well, it’s April 1st. And everyone knows what that means… —Synopsis provided by Beach Lane Books
The Case of Old MacDonald and His Farm is just plain fun. In it, author-illustrator Mark Teague takes readers to the familiar farm where some hijinks have occurred — mustaches painted on the cows; hats on the chickens; and stripes on the horses. It’s silly. It’s amusing. Kids will love it. Teague’s trademark acrylic illustrations are immediately recognizable and make you smile.
