Get ready to sing and laugh along with this intergalactic twist on the classic children’s song “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” in a rollicking picture book from author Zach von Zonk and beloved illustrator Benjamin Chaud!

Old MacDonald had a farm—that is, until an alien spirits his animals away in a UFO. Now, Old MacMartian has a farm—in space—and young readers will delight in the out-of-this-world hijinks that result when cows, pigs, sheep, and more create chaos in his spaceship.

With a zerp zap and a zerp zap there, colourful and detail-rich illustrations bring this hilarious tale to life as Old MacMartian and his faithful three-eyed dog get a bit more than they bargained for with their messy, hungry, noisy, and mischievous new barnyard companions. E-I-UFO!

A LAUGH-OUT-LOUD TAKE ON "OLD MACDONALD": From a UFO abduction of farm animals to the playfully reworked nursery rhyme we all know and love, the delightful chaos that ensues in this rhyming picture book delivers heaps of humour and outrageous scenarios.

STANDOUT READ-ALOUD: A familiar children’s song paired with a space twist makes E-I-UFO the perfect read-aloud. Kids will love singing along, making animal noises, and saying “E-I-UFO!” again and again.

FARM ANIMALS + SPACE = HILARITY: Farm animal antics! A UFO! A Martian managing a farm in space! There's so much for kids to love. E-I-UFO takes the popular farm animal theme to new heights with a space setting, resulting in unexpected and ticklishly funny mayhem.

Perfect for:

  • Fans of “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” song and books
  • Parents seeking a laugh-out-loud picture book
  • Educators, librarians, and caregivers in search of a picture book with a farm theme
  • Kids who are learning about (and love) farm animals or space (or both!)
  • Fans of Benjamin Chaud’s books, including The Bear’s Song and I Didn’t Do My Homework Because …
