#1
Duck has had it. Farmer
Brown just expects way too much from the farm animals. They have
to mow and clean and even grind the coffee beans. But what can Duck
do? He decides that things would be different if he were in charge.
So he made a sign and hung it up in the barn. The sign said "Farmer
Brown must go! Farm election tomorrow!" That's right.
Duck is running for Farm Manager. Does he have a chance? Is
the job as easy as he thinks?
Booktalk #2
Duck has climbed the political
ladder from running a farm to running the United States, and has learned
along the way that each job has its own “sticky” problems that the leader
must handle.While campaigning for each position, Duck gets to meet lots
of people and thinks that the next job will be easier, but he learns that
each job has its own set of problems, and each seems more difficult than
the last. (Prepared by:Lynne Holcombe, SCASL
