Old MacDonald does not need a barn. He has an apartment house. In the middle of the city, this inventive building superintendent begins turning rooms, closets, kitchens, and bathrooms into places for crops and animals. Cabbages spread, carrots appear overhead, and the apartment house becomes more like a farm with every floor. It is a wonderfully ridiculous idea, especially once the building’s owner comes to collect the rent. Old MacDonald Had an Apartment House is a funny picture book about imagination, city life, and a very unusual kind of farming. Young readers who enjoy offbeat humor will have fun seeing how far one person’s big idea can grow. The story also offers a playful look at vegetables, resourcefulness, and what happens when a familiar song gets a clever urban twist.
