What is Old Mikamba Had a Farm about?

Old Mikamba has a farm in the African plains, where wonderful animals gather and make surprising sounds. Sing along as giraffes, baboons, elephants, lions, rhinos, zebras and wildebeests join the familiar tune of “Old MacDonald Had a Farm”. Rachel Isadora’s vibrant collage illustrations bring the landscape and its wildlife to life, while a collection of animal facts adds extra discoveries. A lively read-aloud that introduces young children to African animals through rhythm, repetition and playful sound-making.
