Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type

Written by Doreen Cronin, illustrated by Betsy Lewin

Recommended Ages: 5 6 7 8

Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows type! Coincidentally, the cows have a problem with Farmer Brown. The barn is too cold! They type a complaint with a request for electric blankets and post it on the barn door. Farmer Brown angrily dismisses their request. The cows decide to go on strike, "No milk." Soon, the hens join forces with the cows, "No eggs." Well, Farmer Brown can't have this, so he enlists Duck's help. (Duck delivers the FINAL notes back and forth between both parties.) After receiving Farmer Brown's note, the cows have a meeting and decide to give back the typewriter in exchange for the electric blankets. Farmer Brown agrees. Unfortunately, sometimes disputes are not resolved as planned. Guess who has the typewriter now? Apart from illustrations that jump off the page, this book presents the concept of collective bargaining in an understandable and humorous way.
