Starting Them Early

Today in kiddie French we read Animal Farm for three year olds.

No, really.

The book was the story of le canard; le canard worked around the farm while the fat farmer lay in bed eating chocolates; le canard worked until he cried with exhaustion, at which point the other animals—la vache, les muttons, and a gaggle of others—stormed the house, threw the farmer from his bed, and chased him from the farm.

Then le canard returned to doing the work around the farm.

Available in English as “Farmer Duck”. Check the illustration on the last page: the duck has started directing the other animals in their work. It’s only a matter of time until the duck starts in on the chocolates.

It only missed ending with “All animals are equal...”

Apparently ducks say “coin coin”.
