This is a bilingual edition of the popular picture book written by Martin Waddell and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. The story is told in two languages - Polish and English - side by side on each page. ... There was once a duck who had the bad luck to live with a lazy old farmer. The duck did all the work. The farmer stayed all day long in bed... Until one early morning when the animals awoke the lazy farmer and ran him off... The book carries a moral message that even little children will understand. Its stunning water-color alike illustrations earned it the Best Children's Illustrated Book of the Year award in Great Britain.
