The CD features three tracks tracks one and three featuring the story being read with background music and sound effect track, track two being solely the story without added audio.įarmer Brown begins to hear typing sounds coming from his barn. Illustrated by Betsy Lewin, the Simon & Schuster book tells the story of Farmer Brown's cows, who find an old typewriter in the barn and proceed to write letters to Farmer Brown, making various demands and then going on strike when they aren't met.Ī book and CD edition was also released, with the CD being narrated by Rik Mayall. Publishers Weekly said of it, “Kids and underdogs everywhere will cheer for the clever critters that calmly and politely stand up for their rights, while their human caretaker becomes more and more unglued.Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type is a 2000 children's book written by Doreen Cronin. Besides, if it were a laptop then the title might have been Tip, Tap, Moo and that’s far less interesting. Even if you don’t initially recognize what a typewriter is, it explains itself pretty well right from the start. Some folks have told me that the book is outdated because kids don’t know what typewriters are anymore. Eventually the duck would come to rule the series, but in this tale he has a relatively understated (comically so) role. For now we’ll just have to leave it at “really good story” and be satisfied with that.
I wish I could remember whether or not it appears in Tales for Little Rebels (no index) or I’d quote you some good old-fashioned union politics as well. It’s a picture book about the man keeping you down. Unfortunately for Farmer Brown, the ducks have learned from all this, leaving us with a smile at the ending.” What’s worse for the farmer is that the strike spreads to the cold hens as well. All they want is electric blankets for the cold barn. “The duck was a neutral party.” How you top sentences like that?Ĭhildren’s Literature described the plot as, ” ‘Cows that type? Impossible!’ That’s what Farmer Brown thinks when he first hears the ‘click, clack’ from the barn, but then he reads the note the cows write him. We’ve talked about how a lot of the books on this list make for good readalouds, but this book is, for me, a staple. Si, se puede! Yes they can! When Labor Day rolls around and I need to make a labor-related book display (oh yeah, that’s how I roll) what do I like to pull out? Nothing short of the old Click, Clack, Moo. #39 Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin, illustrated by Betsy Lewin (2000)
