"And on his farm there was a MARTIAN. With a beep beep here and a beep beep there..." And if that weren't awesome enough, the book is a flip book too! For each page, Old Macdonald has a vehicle (truck, airplane, etc.) hiding the animal/Martian until the child flips the flap to reveal it.

Did you notice I mentioned airplane? If our favorite farmer is high tech enough for Martians, he surely has his pilot's license too. :)

a retelling of the old mcdonald song with flaps. I loved the flaps but didn't like the pictures or the alien at the end.
