A parent might reach for this book when their family needs a funny, gentle reminder about appreciating the work everyone does. Based on a classic folktale, it tells the story of Hans, a farmer who is certain his work in the fields is much harder than his wife's work at home. They trade places for a day, and chaos ensues as Hans hilariously fails at every domestic task, from churning butter to minding the baby and the cow. This lighthearted story uses slapstick humor to open conversations about empathy, gratitude, and seeing things from another person's perspective. For ages 4 to 7, it’s a perfect, laughter-filled way to model respect for all types of contributions within a family.
