Johnson, D. B.

Four Legs Bad, Two Legs Good!

32 pp. | Houghton | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-80909-7 $16.00
(3) K-3 Pig Orvie, who walks on two legs and whose motto is "4 legs bad, 2 legs good," lazes around while others toil. Duck gets the animals to work collectively, proving "18 legs best!" The story, which resembles Farmer Duck, also has elements of Animal Farm. Johnson's mixed-media illustrations, using panels and word balloons, effectively contrast soft colors with blocky shapes.
