A nursery rhyme meets farmyard gadgets

Mags MacDonald takes charge of her grandpa’s farm with a to-do list and an assortment of high-tech helpers. The jetpack, robotic octopus, and conveyor belts complicate chores instead of simplifying them, while an ill-chosen pizza order adds another problem. The familiar nursery-rhyme framework gives the story a playful structure, with the farm’s mishaps leading into teamwork and creative problem-solving. Mags makes mistakes, keeps working through the trouble, and gets help from her friends as they bring the farm back under control.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous farm stories.
  • Young readers interested in gadgets, maker-kid adventures, and problem-solving.
  • Families looking for a nursery-rhyme-inspired story to read and sing along with.

Book overview

In this high-tech spin on the classic nursery rhyme, Mags MacDonald gets more than she bargained for

With her grandpa on a trip out of town, Mags Macdonald is left in charge of the farm. And on that farm, she has a whole lot of work to do! Armed with her to-do list, Mags employs some high-tech tools to help her get the job done.

But everything goes wrong--she loses control of her turbo jetpack hose, her voice-activated giant robotic octopus has a mind of its own, and her high-speed conveyor belts go haywire! And, to top it all off, the animals don't want to eat the pizza Mags ordered for them! Then, just when she is completely overwhelmed, Mags's friends show up to help tidy the farm and get her tech under control.

This fractured nursery rhyme will have readers laughing out loud and singing along as they follow a plucky, maker-kid protagonist use creative problem solving, make some mistakes, and persevere to learn from them.
