Old MacDonald Had a Baby by K-Fai Steele, Emily Snape
3.0

Age: Infant-Toddler
LGBTQ: Gay couple with a baby
Song: Old MacDonald

A stay-at-home dad's escapades with his baby are full of smiles, messes, and relatable challenges. Our toddler shelves are fairly devoid of LGBTQ families so this is a welcome addition. However, as many have mentioned, the rhymes are off-and-on and the story feels way too long, severely cramping the flow and enjoyment of the read. An easy read-aloud fix would be to skip over several of these scenarios--but reading with a child may lead to squirmy wormies.
