Product description

This funny book is set on a farm. But where is the farmer? He’s so lazy he lies in bed all day. He bullies poor Duck into doing all the work, and doesn’t care how tired Duck gets. The other farm animals think it’s very unfair. Then one day, Duck collapses in tears. So 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

    My favourite bit in the book is when the animals get there own back on the farmer. I would recommend this book to 3-5 year olds for their parents to read it to them.

    when reading this in class when i was small i felt really sorry for the little duck having to work all day long! The author has clearly showed the readers what sharing is about and hardwork.
