Review

"[A] hilarious reinterpretation of a familiar ... story ... a Noah's Ark of assorted hungry ... beasties ... will have an audience of readers age 2-7 rolling in the aisles--or the pastry crumbs--and hunting every page to find the ... animal action ... [G]oes way beyond funny caricature and will leave enraptured gigglers in its wake." - Midwest Book Review

"A funny book with funny pictures ... laugh out loud ... take-off on 'Old MacDonald had a Farm' ... filled with clever rhymes and ... colorful pictures. ... Children will delight seeing ... many different kinds of animals ... different kinds of foods." - Israel Drazin, Amazon Vine Voice reviewer

"A delightful learning picture book for tots. Author Karl Beckstrand ... makes identifying the various animals a fun vocabulary building activity. But the humor will bring a smile to the lips of adults as well. ... colorful and charming illustrations. ... I would recommend this book for children two (read to them) and up." - Author David Wilcox
