Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type

Click, clack, moo…Clickety, Clack, Moo. This book is about Farmer Brown and his problem with his letter-typing cows. Although it seems impossible, Farmer Brown’s cows can actually type, and they type letters demanding electric blankets to keep them warm. Farmer Brown is stubborn and won’t cave to the cows, so the cows do the only logical thing: they go on a strike. During this strike, all milk production stops and then a farm-wide strike begins. The cows write a letter demanding electric blankets for the hens as well, because after all, no animal likes to be cold. Eventually the two parties reach an agreement. Farmer Brown gives the animals electric blankets and in return the animals go back to giving milk and eggs. Just once Farmer Brown makes the cows and hens happy, the ducks realize they want something too! Click Clack Moo: Cows that type by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin is an adorable story with even more adorable illustrations. The story is simple yet introduces children to new terms such as strike, ultimatum, and a neutral party in a way that is fun and creative! Thumbs up!
