Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Welcome to Wannabe Farms, a farmyard where the animals like to wonder and dream, plot and scheme, and definitely not act how they're supposed to. In rhyming verse, Brian McCann (writer for Conan O'Brien) shows us what happens when cows want to drive, pigs dream of being sophisticates, and sheep take their hairstyles into their own hands (well, hooves). Together, what emerges is a delightful, hysterical romp through the farmyard, as animals discover the place where dreams meet their limits, and the power of adjusted expectations.
With hilarious two-color illustrations on every spread, this collection of stories brings Shel Silverstein and Old MacDonald together in a way readers young and old have never seen before!
Ages 8-12. Penguin Workshop.
Interlaced, illustrated, rhyming stories introduce Wannabe Farms, where the animals like to wonder and dream, plot and scheme, but must learn the power of adjusted expectations.
The introduction to the book you are reading -- The day the cows built a car for themselves -- The day the chickens tried to build a flat-screen TV -- The day the pigs tried to live like humans -- The day the sheep wanted to become barbers -- The day the horses decided they could make the farm more successful!
