This story takes the "Old MacDonald" song to the garden, where Jo and her cousin Mike plant seeds, tend a vegetable and flower patch, and provide a homegrown salad for their grandfather, Old MacDonald. Though the text, like the song, can become tedious, readers' interest may be sustained by the book's challenge to search the lively illustrations for specific animals and plants.
