Bardal Feirmeora (Farmer Duck) (Walker Eireann) - Softcover

By book's end, young readers will flap for joy right along with the endearing web-footed heros. * Publishers Weekly, starred review * The subversive fable is so exuberantly illustrated by Helen Oxenbury's stunningly powerful watercolors that it is, in fact, an ideal nursery book--a model of the synthesis of story, word, and picture. * Mothering Magazine * Waddell's narration is a marvel of simplicity and compact grace; Oxenbury's soft pencil and watercolor illustrations have the comic impact of masterly cartoons, while her sweeping color and light are gloriously evocative of the English farm scene . . . A book with all the marks of a nursery classic. * Kirkus Reviews, starred review * Not just a classic because of its animal liberation theme. It sends a strong message to kids about subscribing to a hard work ethic and what it means to be a true comrade. * Vegbooks.org *
