Description
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.
Description
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.

Clunky rhymes bogged down this silly story of aspiring farm animals who find fulfillment despite having their grandiose dreams dashed. Cartoony illustrations deftly capture the wacky chaos. Fans of Dr. Seuss's longer books might enjoy tackling this one.
