About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a mischievous mood or feels the need to exert some independence through creative projects. It is the perfect choice for a high-energy afternoon when you want to channel a child's 'troublemaking' impulses into a conversation about cleverness, planning, and the satisfaction of a job well done. The story follows Farmer Brown and his barnyard animals as they prepare for a corn maze festival, but while the Farmer is busy following his maps, Duck has a secret, more ambitious design in mind. Through its rhythmic onomatopoeia and hilarious illustrations, the book explores themes of teamwork and creative subversion. It is ideally suited for children aged 4 to 8 who appreciate visual humor and the thrill of a 'secret' being revealed. Parents will enjoy the subtle nod to the fact that while adults might think they are in charge, the children (or ducks) often have a much grander, funnier vision of how things should go.
