Father Duck is the theme for this months Aistear. Farmer Duck is a wonderfully illustrated, funny story that tells the tale of a hardworking duck who does everything from feeding the cows to shooing the hens safely into their coop at night without a rest. When the farmers incessant question of ‘how goes the work?’ gets too much for duck, his friends the cow, sheep and hens, have a meeting with all the other farm animals to find a solution to ease poor ducks plight and rid themselves of the lazy farmer.
