Reach for this book when your child is in a silly mood or testing the boundaries of rules and instructions. It is a lighthearted look at what happens when a clever underdog (or under-duck) takes control of the situation through wit and a pencil. While Farmer Brown is away on vacation, his brother Bob is left in charge with a list of instructions that the animals quickly intercept and rewrite to suit their own desires. The story explores themes of cleverness, teamwork, and the joy of breaking a few harmless rules. It is perfectly suited for preschoolers and early elementary children who will delight in knowing more than the adult character in the story. It is a fantastic choice for a bedtime laugh or to encourage a child who is beginning to explore the power of writing and communication.
