" A children's story about striking cows, then hens ... then ducks. A children's story about unions, people! Puh-lease ... seems unnecessary, but then it WAS a Caldecott Honor Book. I guess maybe you could discuss politics (labour force, negotiations, leverage, extortion etc.) with an insightful child after reading it, because I'm not too sure what other mores, norms, or values were meant to be portrayed ... ?
