nerd teacher [books] reviewed Farmer Duck by Martin Waddell
Commune-building farm animals?
3 stars
First: The illustrations are really awesome. I like the darker colours that are used, which aren't very traditional for a children's book.
This book teaches some animals and animal sounds. It's also the story of a bunch of farm animals that overthrow the farmer who makes a duck do all his work because they hate how he lives off what someone else does but is too lazy to do anything himself, deciding to work together to get rid of him and then taking over the farm. I'd be fine with more of these kinds of messages in kids' books, honestly.
