Has anyone ever told you to ‘calm your farm’? Settle down? Stress less?
Just be quiet?
Despite the crow of a rooster in the morning, the moo of cows, the
cluckety-cluck of chickens and the occasional grunt of a pig, farms are not
exactly known to be noisy and chaotic places. Busy, yes. Needing to be told to
‘calm down!’, no.
Welcome to Dale Baker’s farm. A farm where the animals have, to put it
simply, gone berserk.
Imagine the chaos caused by ducks with water guns, egg-throwing chickens
and tractor-driving cows (who probably shouldn’t be behind the wheel). All the
animals are running amok … except one little fella, and he just doesn’t know
what to do … until it all gets too much!
The question is ‘why?’ What has caused this farm to lose its calm?
Dale Baker’s lively illustrations capture the pandemonium of farm life
when things go just a little (or a lot) awry.
Children aged 4 – 8 years will delight in Calm Your Farm – the
rollicking story of a farmer and one sensible duck who just want everyone to do
their job.
