Advantages: Lovely story

Disadvantages: None

Farmer Duck is the story of a hard working duck who is left to run the farm by himself when the farmer just stays in bed all day, without a word of thanks to the duck. This goes on until the other animals decide enough is enough and decide to revolt against the farmer. The illustrations by Helen Oxenbury in this book are lovely. The story is imaginative and contains a subtle message for the children that read it.

I have read this book to children from 4-7: the recommended age really. They all loved it, especially since the use of repetition encourages them to join in.
