A clever new spin on "Old MacDonald," this fun book explores the popular trend of urban farming. From rooftop farms and gardens on Manhattan high rises to neighborhood gardens in empty lots in Atlanta to hydroponic gardens in Seattle, growing food locally has become an important part of city-dwelling life.

Set to the tune of the popular children's song, this bouncy rhyming text will get everyone reading (or singing) out loud. If you're not comfortable singing aloud, download the free recording of the song created by popular children's performer Caspar Babypants (aka Chris Ballew, lead singer and songwriter for the band The Presidents of the United States of America). Six North American cities are highlighted, but included in the back matter are tips and tricks on how to alter the text so you can sing about your own hometown gardens.

Back matter also includes more information about the different types of gardens introduced, additional resources, and the sheet music for the song.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun!
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2014
Lendroth puts a new spin on Old Macdonald’s farm, taking it to cities across America, from Manhattan to Chicago to Atlanta. “On a high-rise here, in a backyard there--climbing up, hanging down,/ spreading green all over town” children and families create farms in all sorts of urban settings. The verses flow easily and follow the song, each adding information about everything from worms to beehives to hydroponics. Lots of fun that will have you all singing, “E-I-E-I-Grow!”

At first, I was worried that it was all about Manhattan -- but Lendroth even includes instructions for how to create your own verses for different towns and cities.

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2014
Michael Pollan for the toddler set! Such a great way to introduce kids to urban farming and get them thinking about where their food comes from. It may even encourage kids to grow their own fruits and vegetables--and if they grow them, they'll be sure to want to eat them. Wonderful book for read-alouds, where the kids can join in with the familiar refrain, or to share one-on-one where it can lead to thoughtful discussions about the origins of the food we eat every day.
