Farmer Duck
By Martin Waddell
Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury
The Nestle Children's Book Prize-winning classic!
There once was a duck who had the bad luck to live with a lazy farmer. While the duck worked, the farmer lay in bed - until one day the other animals decided to take action! The result is highly satisfying - Animal Farm for young children - and lots of fun to read aloud.
- Overall winner of the Nestle Children's Book Prize, 1991.
- Shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal, 1991.
- "This book will be bought for years."The Independent on Sunday
