Farmer Duck
by Martin Waddell
A duck does every job on the farm while an idle farmer stays in bed eating chocolates. The other animals decide, quietly and firmly, to put it right.
A story about animals and a grown-up villain, funny and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 3–6, and at a reading age of about 5 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
