'How goes the work....?'

Delighted to see that 'Farmer Duck', is LabourStart's book of the day.

For those who haven't read it, Farmer Duck is a kids book about an animals revolt against a 'fat, lazy farmer' who basically spends all day lying in bed eating chocolates (think 'Animal Farm', without the Trotsky/Stalin allegory).

My kids love Farmer Duck, and I love reading it - its a really great story, and if nothing else its allowed me to explain to them what I (sort of) do for a living. Only drawback is that my middle son Johnny now thinks I do literally spend all day hunting down misanthropic agriculturalists - if only life at the TUC was that simple!
