OLD MOTHER DUCK and her six little ducklings lived in ahollow tree down by the river, and here they were all ashappy as the day was long. They had the whole of thebroad bright river to swim about on, and there was no oneto bother them or drive them about.Mother Duck had not always lived in the hollow tree.Once she had lived in a farmyard back in the country andaway from the river. But she had not been very happythere. For one thing, there was a very cross old watch-dogin the farmyard. He was kept chained to his dog-housethrough the day, and never set loose until the otheranimals had gone to bed, but he used to snap at the ducksand chickens whenever they came near his dog-house,and that frightened them.Then there was no place to swim but in a muddy littleduck-pond that almost dried up in the heat of summer.But the worst thing of all at the farmhouse was the waythe farmer's wife used to steal the duck's eggs. No matterhow carefully Mrs. Duck hid her eggs, Mrs. Farmer alwaysfound them and took them away. Once she put a numberof them in a hen's nest, and allowed a hen to set on them.After a while the hen hatched out eleven of thecunningest, fuzziest, yellowest ducklings that ever were 3seen. The hen was just as pleased and proud as thoughshe had laid the eggs herself. But she didn't in the leastknow how to bring up a brood of ducklings. Mrs. Duckcould see that very plainly. She didn't even want them toget their feet wet and she almost had a fit when they wentinto the water one day.

A hardworking duck is rescued from life with a lazy old farmer in this classic tale of justice. Farmer Duck isn't your average duck.

FEATHERS FLY when one smart duck decides to teach the farmyard know-it-alls a lesson. Damaris is a duck. Not the ordinary, silly, jumping-inpuddles kind of duck—she's a very clever duck. So when the farmyard pigs start picking on the other animals, Damaris and her sheepdog best friend hatch a plot to get back at them. Her plan works so well that she soon feels sorry for the sows, especially when they are captured by the sinister Mr. Crook. Now it's up to Damaris to rescue them. Filled with snooty sows, dotty ducks, and more than a little farmyard excitement, CLEVER DUCK is a charming adventure from the "master of animal stories."* *The Guardian, London Clever Duck is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
