In 1976 a wonderfully amusing and amazingly musical book was voted Children’s Book of the Year. The book is Farmer Fisher, a 48 page romp through the mind of Jonathon Coudrille who re-designed the famous Old MacDonald had a farm favourite, upgraded it to the modern era and delighted a generation of children.
The book and music are now available again. The book can be bought from the web site for FootSteps Press ( www.footstepspress.com) and the music is available free from the same site, though you can buy the CD is you want to along with a signed copy of the book.
There isn’t a six year old in the world who won’t love this book. And you can listen to the music here from your own computer. This is only side one, some people think side two is even funnier –
