Get ready to sing and laugh along with this intergalactic twist on the classic children's song "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" in a rollicking picture book from author Zach von Zonk and beloved illustrator Benjamin Chaud!
Old MacDonald had a farm—that is, until an alien spirits his animals away in a UFO. Now, Old MacMartian has a farm—in space—and young readers will delight in the out-of-this-world hijinks that result when cows, pigs, sheep, and more create chaos in his spaceship.

With a zerp zap and a zerp zap there, colorful and detail-rich illustrations bring this hilarious tale to life as Old MacMartian and his faithful three-eyed dog get a bit more than they bargained for with their messy, hungry, noisy, and mischievous new barnyard companions. E-I-UFO!
A LAUGH-OUT-LOUD TAKE ON "OLD MACDONALD": From a UFO abduction of farm animals to the playfully reworked nursery rhyme we all know and love, the delightful chaos that ensues in this rhyming picture book delivers heaps of humor and outrageous scenarios.

STANDOUT READ-ALOUD: A familiar children's song paired with a space twist makes E-I-UFO the perfect read-aloud. Kids will love singing along, making animal noises, and saying "E‑I‑UFO!" again and again.

FARM ANIMALS + SPACE = HILARITY: Farm animal antics! A UFO! A Martian managing a farm in space! There's so much for kids to love. E-I-UFO takes the popular farm animal theme to new heights with a space setting, resulting in unexpected and ticklishly funny mayhem.

        A Martian gets more than he bargained for when he abducts some farm animals. Written to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," this frolicsome ditty follows a curious alien as he wonders about the animals that he sees on Earth. "With a ZERP ZAP here, / and a ZERP ZAP there," the sheep, cat, cow, and pig all go flying up into the spaceship; the light-skinned farmer stays behind, but the alien zaps up the farmer's overalls and boots and happily dons them. With three eyes and a bulbous pink head, Old MacMartian attempts to run some experiments on the animals, but the livestock have other ideas. The cow munches on everything in sight (including the Martian's prized marshmallows), the pig splatters mud everywhere, and the sheep and cat run amok. Old MacMartian and his three-eyed dog are overwhelmed. To put a stop to the mayhem, he returns the barnyard animals to the farmer ("BACK TO EARTH YOU GO!"). Storytime audiences will delight in the repeated titular refrain ("E-I-UFO"), and space enthusiasts will enjoy seeing the intricate mechanisms and control panel inside the spaceship. The rollicking narrative may take some practice to avoid falling back into the familiar lyrics of the original, but it's easy enough to grasp. Lively, playful, singalong fun.(Picture book. 3-6)
