OLD MACDONALD HAD A TRUCKby Steve Goetz, illustrated by Eda Kaban
This week's pick is from cottager Kara LaReau.

What it's all about
Old MacDonald had a farm. Old news, right? Did you know he also had an impressive collection of construction vehicles? E-I-E-I-WHOOOA!

It's a super-fun read-aloud from Steve Goetz with lots of great sound effects and dramatic page turns. Eda Kaban's art is equal parts dynamic and hilarious.

E-I-E-I-O.
