When we’re not talking about the unrealistic L.A. highway driving times in the Barbie Movie, we’re discussing our favorite picture books and whether or not they’re classics. I admit that we have done Helen Oxenbury on the podcast relatively recently, but due to its stature in the children’s literature world, I felt that his was an egregious gap in our knowledge until now. Think of Farmer Duck as a variation on Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type, but with a more revolutionary and less unionization tone. Power to the people (if the “people”, in this case, are livestock). Come enjoy the happiest version of Animal Farm to date (now 100% pig free!).

Show Notes:
“Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
A dead man called out, for his love to free
Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be,
If we met at midnight at the hanging tree”
You know you’re a grown-up when you look at this image and immediately think, “Where’s their gutter extender?!?”
Truly, who cannot identify with these three adjectives? “Sleepy, weepy, and tired.” It’s perfect.
Rust or blood? You be the judge.
