Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type

When Farmer Brown’s cows find a typewriter, he hears an ominous sound: “Click, clack, moo.” Letters of protest soon follow, as the cows strike for better working conditions: “Dear Farmer Brown, The barn is very cold at night. We’d like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows.”

Author/Illustrator: Written by Doreen Cronin. Illustrated by Betsy Lewin.

High Marks: A bovine tale of self-determination, Click, Clack, Moo sets a precedent among picture book plots. The notion that you have the right to stand up for your rights and moo is a worthy principle in the barnyard or the schoolyard.
