Old MacDonald Had a Dragon

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Santoro. Guitar-strumming farmer MacDonald adapts his song to include a dragon, who materializes and swallows the farm animals--and ultimately MacDonald. The book's promising idea (Old MacDonald has a dragon?!) doesn't get enough play (the escape from the dragon's belly is uninspired), but kids will enjoy the humor. The droll digitally rendered art is synthetic-looking.
