Ali Baba Has a Big Farm

For many children, the classic nursery rhyme "Old McDonald Had a Farm" is one of the first songs they learn. But did you know that there is an alternative version that is just as fun? It's called "Ali Baba Has a Big Farm," and it's a popular Turkish rhyme that is used to teach children about animals.

The words are set to the same tune as "Old McDonald Had a Farm," which makes it easy for children (and adults!) to remember and sing along. Today, parents are using this popular rhyme in their homes, classrooms, and preschools as an educational tool for kids.
