Living on a farm is hard work, especially when you are the only one doing it! You will root for Farmer Duck, an incredibly kind and hardworking bird who cooks, cleans, and tends to the fields all by himself. Why? Because the actual farmer is much too lazy to leave his bed, doing nothing but shouting orders all day long. As Farmer Duck grows more exhausted, sleepy, and weepy, his animal friends decide that enough is enough. You will laugh and cheer as the cows, sheep, and hens hatch a brilliant, heroic plan to teach the lazy farmer a lesson he will never forget. This award-winning story is a wonderfully funny tale about teamwork, justice, and standing up for your friends when they need it most.
