From Booklist
Originally published in 1981, Gammell's uproarious take on the old farmyard song has been reissued with an improved, slightly larger design, including a new jacket, front matter, and type, and clear white space framing the amazing two-color illustrations. The story of the bumbling farmer is timeless. He tries to farm with an elephant, a baboon, and a lion. When they rebel and leave, his neighbor gets him a chicken, a cow, and a horse. Unfortunately, the stalwart farmer messes up once more ("Ei-ei-oh") in a way that kids will laugh at again and again. There's a sense of a real hardscrabble farm and individual animals in Gammell's pictures. Maybe that's why the wild farce is so funny and so tender. Hazel Rochman
