From acclaimed comedy writer Brian McCann comes Wannabe Farms, the insanely funny, rhyming collection of stories that asks the question: What do farmyard animals really want to do with their lives? Now in paperback!

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.

With hilarious two-color illustrations on every spread, this collection of stories brings Shel Silverstein and Old MacDonald together in a way readers young and old have never seen before!

Praise for Wannabe Farms

"Brian McCann has that unique ability to write comedy that a seven-year-old and a middle-aged man will both find hilarious. Buy this book for your child, but I defy you not to laugh when a group of cows try to build an automobile."- Conan O'Brien

"A hilarious book for animal lovers and risk takers everywhere! Brian McCann introduces us to Wannabe Farms, and we never want to leave." - Amy Poehler

"Brian McCann is one of the funniest human beings I know. I mean, like top three, and I know a LOT of funny people. I'm very happy the kids are finally going to get hip to that now." - Andy Richter

"Wannabe Farms is a delight for children and grown-ups alike. The only slightly annoying thing is now my own son thinks Brian McCann is funnier than I am." - Ellie Kemper
