Description
Old MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O. And on that farm he had a ... BOAT?! Old Mac and Mrs. Mac are back in a new rollicking reimagining of the classic folk song, this time with the focus on another kid fascination - tools! With hammers, saws, sanders, and even a blowtorch, the MacDonalds are turning their peaceful farm lake into the water sports haven of their dreams. In a fun twist on the first book, now Old Mac and Mrs. Mac are pictured using all types of tools on their different projects: he's souping up a sleek speedboat, while Mrs. Mac gets to work building a water ski ramp! Luckily, the original crew of farm animals is getting in on the building fun - and jumping on Jet Skis to set up the final event! - in this sequel that's sure to make a splash.
