Caldecott Honor #1 Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type


Doreen Cornin did a great job writing a fun book that young children enjoy reading. Farmer Brown has a problem with his cows. They have found an old type writer and they’ve learned how to use it. With it the cows begin writing letters to Farmer Brown requesting electric blankets because is cold in the barn at night. This makes Farmer Brown mad and he says no. The next letter from the cows is "We're closed. No milk today." The cows get the other animals involved such as the chickens. After no milk and no eggs Farmer Brown demands that the cows and chickens go back to work. By the end of the story the ducks get in on the demands as they are bored and want a diving board!




Children love listening to this book. They love reciting the words, “click clack moo, click clack moo, clickety clack moo.” The pictures add to the story and fit perfectly with what the story says.
