These teaching tips for Martin Waddell's classic picture book Farmer Duck from Candlewick Press include discussion questions, close reading activities, and a fun group activity that lets students act out portions of the story together.

Excerpted from

Farmer Duck Children's Book
Farmer Duck
By Author: Martin Waddell
Illustrator: Helen Oxenbury

Farmer Duck isn't your average duck. This duck cooks and cleans, tends the fields, and cares for the other animals on the farm--all because the owner of the farm is too lazy to do these things himself. But when Farmer Duck finallly collapses from exhaustion, the farmyard animals come to the rescue with a simple but heroic plan.
