The barnyard animals on Don MacDonald's and el senor Pancho's farms have a hard time communicating. Don MacDonald's rooster says

coc-a-duro-du! while Senor Pancho's gallo says quiquiriqui. The English-speaking chick says pip, pip, but el pollito says pio, pio. Then the horse says nei, nei-and el caballo says

niiiji! But when the animals come together for a barnyard fiesta, they realize that maybe they're not so different after all.

Musically rhythmic lines of verse full of Spanish-language animal sounds (and their English equivalents, rendered in Spanish phonetic spelling) encourage children to laugh and sing along. The colorful illustrations perfectly match the silly text, featuring playful livestock that sing and dance across the two dueling barnyards. This lively, irresistible book is a celebration of Spanish-language onomatopoeia!

""Old MacDonald Had a Farm"" goes multicultural in this rollicking Spanish-language rendition of a beloved children's song!
