Enjoyable naughtiness
We are big fans of Cronin and Lewin in our household and this book lived up to our high expectations. The book is illustrated beautifully and the story is very funny. My toddler really enjoys this book but my 6 year old niece and nephew absolutely love it. The notion of taking advantage in the absence of the parental figure clearly strikes a chord with them! Lots of little silly moments and small details you may miss first time round to make re-reading the book just as exciting as the first time.

Building enjoyment in reading
My pupil really enjoyed this book. He is finding learning to read difficulty, but enjoyed joining in the repetitive chorus with this book and also the previous book 'Click, Clack Moo - Cows That Type'. Building enjoyment in reading is part of the process and these two books are great for that.

Wonderful book
My child LOVES this book (just turned 2). We had the paperback which she ripped up (it was a gift) and got this to replace it - it's great!

Entertaining book - bought as present for a 6 year old - which was very well received by both the child and the parents.

More Duck trouble - more fun for children of all ages!
I described the first book of this set ("Click Clack Moo - Cows that type") as Animal Farm for kids. This one expands the humour beyond the original concept of the animals pulling a fast one over Farmer Brown, but it is much more fun because the pranks in the farmyard at his expense are bigger and brasher, and this appealled to my wife and I more than to our boys (aged 3 and 5). The artwork is once again wonderful and shows exactly what the text suggests. Very good collaboration between writer and illustrator make this another must-see for parents as well as children. When you've finished here, don't forget to check volume 3 - "Vote For Duck"...

Cute Story, Damaged Book
I purchased this for my daughter for Valentine's Day since we have the other two in this series (Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type; and Dooby Dooby Moo). We have borrowed this book from the library, but it is worth the purchase particularly in this board book style. This one is about the Farmer going on vacation and his brother coming to "pet sit" his farm animals. The clever duck character writes little notes that get the Farmer's brother to do silly things (purchase them all pizza, wash the pigs in the bathtub and use the good towels to dry them off, let them watch a movie inside the house, etc.). I think the book could have been longer following this theme, but it is cute the way it is and a nice length for bedtime stories particularly when your little ones want to read LOTS of book!I love the size of the board book as well. I would say it is about 5 x 7 in size. The pictures are clear and the words easy to read. My only complaint was that the last two pages in the book were stuck together. I'm not sure why this was the case, but I will need to exchange it for one that isn't damaged. I would definitely suggest purchasing this as a board book rather than a paperback because your kids will love it so much and want to read it over and over and over again. The board book version is much more durable and will last a lot longer.

love it
My daughter loves this book. We already had Click Clack Moo Cows that Type and were so excited to find this book. I love that it's madr of cardboard so it's easier for mu 2 year old to turn the pages.
