E.I.E.I.O. How Old MacDonald Got His Farm - ADVISABLE

Sierra, Judy E.I.E.I.O. How Old MacDonald Got His Farm, illustrated by Matthew Myers.  PICTURE BOOK.  Candlewick, 2014.  $17.  Content: G.  

While billed as a history of that famous farm, instead this is a impetus for urban gardeners for all sorts.  The author gives up on the traditional rhyme scheme after a couple pages, which makes it awkward, because you really want to sing along.  Kids will have fun shouting out E-I-E-I-O when it comes up, though.  The illustrations are bright and eye-catching.  Any school that has a garden will also want this.
