Publisher's Synopsis
E-I-E-I-OH-NO! The animals on Old MacDonald's farm have gone hog wild and racked up a big credit card bill. Faced with losing the farm, Old Mac and his animal friends use creative thinking and teamwork to transform the farm into a golf course. Question is, will it be enough to save the farm? Praise for Old MacDonald Had a Golf Course: "When I first read Old MacDonald Had a Golf Course, I immediately connected to the story. I grew up on a farm in Australia and can appreciate Mr. MacDonald's fight to keep his pride and joy alive and to keep all the animals happy and together. Times turn tough for Old MacDonald, so he comes up with a great idea of transforming his farm into a golf course so he can afford to keep the farm in his hands. It's a truly great story that kids will love. Good values of helping others and teamwork are all through the story. It has meaning to my youth growing up with farm animals as a boy and now my life as a professional golfer." -Stuart Appleby, world-class golfer "Pigs and putters? Chickens and chip shots? Ducks and drivers Pretty ingenious stuff, mixing funny farm animals with golf. This book is for active boys and girls with big imaginations-in other words, every kid on the planet." -Dave Coverly, nationally syndicated cartoonist "A delightful tale of how we accept responsibility, solve real problems and then, most importantly, enjoy our solutions. This is a marvelous, imaginative story of ingenuity in tough times, and the fun of friends working and playing together. Suitable for children and adults alike." -John Barell, author and educational expert "Kevin has an inner sense that brings the rhythm, rhyme and joy of childhood to a story. Thanks for sharing your gift!" -Tresa Squires, reading recovery specialist and teacher "Jim Hunt's illustrations are priceless! He has breathed a whole new life into Old MacDonald." -Stephanie Armstrong, art director and designer
