About this title

From Booklist:

Young Jo MacDonald hikes through the trees with her grandfather, Old MacDonald. Each double-page spread includes a rhyming verse introducing a new woodland animal, an associated sound, and the familiar refrain “E – I – E – I – O.” The appealing illustrations have clean lines and watercolor washes in soft, harmonious tones. Apparently aimed at adults and older children, an appended section suggests related activities and offers information on specific plants and the nine featured animals (woodpecker, gray squirrel, wild turkey, chipmunk, rat snake, box turtle, skunk, moth, and great horned owl). The third Jo MacDonald book offers a sing-along opportunity and glimpses of forest life. Preschool-Grade 2. --Carolyn Phelan

Review:

With a sense of wonder and that old familiar song as a backdrop, Mary Quattlebaum explores the sounds of the forest and the creatures that make them. What a charming invitation to hit the trail and take to the woods with eyes-and ears-wide open! --Todd Christopher, author, The Green Hour: A Daily Dose of Nature for Happier, Healthier, Smarter Kids
