Children's Books - A Duck For President?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Duck for President,’ the other afternoon.

This children’s book was written by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin.

This wonderful children’s book tells the tale of how a duck who hated chores, became a president.

However, he soon finds that it’s much more hard work at the top especially now he’s in charge of a country.

Eventually he leaves, and goes back to the farm to work, but this time in a different capacity.

Now the farmer does the ducks chores, while duck writes his autobiography.

An amusing children’s book that shows what can be achieved if you put the work in, but remember once you reach the top it still includes hard work, this applies to adults too!

To see duck in action, why not read the book or watch it on Youtube.

In my opinion being smart paid off, although the duck was lazy he showed that he could be successful. However if he’d delegated the work he wouldn’t have had to do any; just like some in management today.

What do you think, let me know?

What's A Worm Diary?

The other morning I read the children’s book called, ‘Diary Of A Worm.’

This children’s book was written by Doreen Cronin and is beautifully illustrated by Harry Bliss.

This children’s book is about a worm’s day to day life in the earth.

It’s a humorous book that gives an insight of a worm’s life, his abilities and the obstacles he faces.

And although he has the full support from his family and spider friend, he knows that earth is also grateful to him in tunneling the soil which benefits all plants and grass.

It’s a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with young children, I’m sure they will love worms after reading this book, I know I do.

And the best thing about being a worm; you don’t ever have to go to the dentist or take a bath.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?
