Product Description From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2--This award-winning team returnswith a third story of farm animals with ambition. Duck is tired of doing hischores (mowing the lawn and grinding the coffee beans), and decides to hold anelection to replace Farmer Brown. When he wins, Duck quickly realizes thatrunning a farm requires too much hard work, and sets out to run for governor.With the help of the hens, and speeches \"that only other ducks canunderstand,\" he eventually ends up running the country. Executive office giveshim a headache, however, so Duck returns to the farm to work on hisautobiography--on a computer, with the typewriter from Click, Clack, Moo(S &S, 2000) in the wastepaper bin next to him. Lewin\'s characteristic humorouswatercolors with bold black outlines fill the pages with color and jokes.Cronin\'s text is hilarious for kids and adults and includes a little math andquite a bit about the electoral process. The animals, who have no verballanguage that humans can understand, are empowered by the use of the writtenword, and the subliminal message comes through loud and clear--one can almosthear youngsters thinking, \"Watch out grown-ups! Just wait till I learn toread.\"--Jane Barrer, Washington Square Village Creative Steps, New York CityCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. Allrights reserved.
