The animals in Old Mikamba's African game farm give a sense of the wild nicely juxtaposed against the familiar refrain of "Old MacDonald." Isadora uses textured paper and newsprint along with oil, ink, and pencil to create animals that leap off the white pages. Kids will eagerly honk honk like the wildebeest and ooh ha-ha like the baboon as they sing along.
