Farmer Duck

Martin Waddell

3.73 AVERAGE


A lazy farmer forced his duck to do all the farm work, until the other animals help duck rebel. It was fine but I won’t read it again.

Power to the peop… barnyard animals.

Pair with Click Clack Moo.

a very interactive book to get the children involved with and big bright pictures to engage them. raises some issues such as inequality to possibly discuss with the class.

basically reminds me of a short, child’s version of Animal Farm!

"I can read some of the words. I want to say about it, he was naked."

Possibly for a duck storytime. It is very similar to the story of the little red hen.

The story would be a four star story but for one thing, it unnecessarily and bluntly equates fatness to laziness.
