Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This Big Book edition is perfect for sharing with groups of children.

A lazy and fat farmer spends all day in bed, eating chocolates and reading the newspaper, while his poor duck has to do all the work on the farm. One evening, the exhausted duck collapses in tears, to be comforted by chickens. The farm animals are very fond of the duck, and outraged by the farmer's behaviour, so they hatch a plan.

This engaging cross between Cinderella and George Orwell's Animal Farm, won the Smarties Book Prize, was British Book Awards Children's Illustrated Book of the Year and was also Highly Commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal. (Ages 4 to 8)--Lisa Gee

A regular size edition is also available.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely story which appeals to a child's sense of fairness, 5 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Farmer Duck (Paperback)
A sensitive story about exploitation which will be understood by the very youngest of children: downtrodden Duck works for gluttonous, lazy Farmer until his friends plan a rebellion on his behalf. The language is lyrical, the illustrations beautiful, and my children loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely illustrations and great story..., 13 Nov 2003
This review is from: Farmer Duck (Paperback)
My wee boy (2 yrs) and I love to read this at bed-time. The rhythm of the text goes along very nicely, and is simple enough for a toddler to follow along with the lovely pictures (reminiscent of his other favourite, 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'). It reminds me of George Orwell, for obvious reasons, and tells a nice story of the fat farmer being evicted to make way for the animals - two legs bad!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A super book to make children laugh., 16 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Farmer Duck (Paperback)
I like this book because it has a happy ending. The farmer gets chased away. I liked the plot and the character farmer because he is fat and lazy.
