Farmer Duck
This funny book is set on a farm. But where is the farmer? He’s so lazy he lies in bed all day, and bullies poor Duck into doing all the work. The other farm animals think it’s very unfair. And when Duck collapses in tears, the others decide to strike back. Watch out, Farmer! Such a classic: wonderful pictures from Helen Oxenbury, combined with a touching story about kindness and standing up for your friends.
- An all-time classic with a powerful message of fairness
- Winner – Greenaway Medal and Kurt Maschler Award
- Written by bestselling Owl Babies author Martin Waddell
- Artwork by the illustrator of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
“Marvellously expressive pictures and a satisfying text make this the outstanding picture book of the year.” Sunday Times
