Synopsis:

Join Mother Moose on a hilarious countryside adventure in Old MacDonald Had a Farm Team, part of the beloved Mother Moose series. This playful board book follows Old MacDonald as he assembles his farm team for the hockey season. From Beaver, the log-solid goaltender, to Goat, the mischievous player who headbutts opponents, picking the perfect team is a fun-filled challenge–especially before the song ends!

Review:

This board book is a fun twist on the “Old MacDonald” nursery rhyme. Old MacDonald has a hockey team made up of animals including a goat and a sheepdog. There were lots of hockey references as well as fun illustrations of the animals playing hockey.

Old MacDonald Had a Farm Team is a fun Canadian twist on the classic nursery rhyme.

Thank you Taffy Tales for providing a copy of this book as part of a sponsored campaign!
