Old Macdonald had a farm - so far so familiar. But did you know that on that farm he had a teapot? And in that teapot he had a genie? Well Old Macdonald didn't either. This is the story of what happened once he did.
This story is packed with chaotic, wish-filled fun! There's lots of opportunity to make noise throughout, and I can see it working well in nurseries and classrooms thanks to all the onomatopoeia.
I enjoyed the rhyming letter spells, which were fun to read aloud. This was a silly, sweet story which my three-year-old really enjoyed. Everybody (or everything!) wanted to wish for something, and I'm pleased the genie got his own wish granted at the end.
Currey's artwork is lovely, with pretty farm yard backdrops, colourful characters and plenty of magic.
Thank you Macmillan Children's Books for sending me a copy to review
