The Man Who Didn't Like Animals by Deborah Underwood by LeUyen Pham*

 The man loved his neat apartment, his plant, and his quiet. He avoided and despised animals. One day a cat arrives on his doorstep and won't go away. Discovering that the cat liked sleeping in the sun, watching the rain, and eating dinner precisely at six like he did, he allowed the cat to remain. Then another cat appears. . . then a dog, another dog,  then ducks, chickens, goats, pigs, and cows. His neighbors had have enough! The animals had to leave. The birth of Old MacDonald!

I liked the illustrations almost more than the story-they add humor and enhance the story. Her attention to detail was superb. The end pages are fun to compare/contrast.

*Highly recommend.
