      Laugh out loud funny book that is as enjoyable to read for little kids as it is for adults. My toddler makes me read it at least once every day and sometimes 2-3 times.

      Hilarious! I enjoyed this silly tale of literate cows and their typing frenzy. Kids will enjoy the sound-words and adults will enjoy the farm yard antics. Highly recommend.

      This one I really enjoyed. The cows and the farmer having a stalemate and the ducks brokering a peace agreement. Cute, funny and quick this is an enjoyable tale.
    • 5/5
      This is such a cute book about farm animals as cows getting a typewriter. The best age would be ages 4-8. It isn't a hard book to understand and fun to say for the kids to follow along.
    • 5/5
      This is a well done read-aloud for children, with an undercurrent that adults will find amusing. Farm animals learn to type, and begin to send notes to the farmer about upgrades they would like. When the farmer ignores their requests, they go on strike. Kids like the animals' crazy behavior (for animals) and adults find the underlying unionization tactics amusing.
    • 5/5
      Click, Clack Moo is a fun, humorous and engaging story for all ages! It tells the story of cows who write a letter to the farmer about getting electric blankets because they are cold. When he refuses, they write a letter on their typewriter saying that the will no longer be giving milk then. The chickens also join in. In the story a compromise needs to be made, which stands to be a great teaching point from this book. Animals cannot talk; however, this modern fantasy depicts what animals might say or want to say even though they wouldn't have the typewriting skills to be able to !
    • 5/5
      One of my favorite books! I like how the author uses personification, allowing the cows and other animals to do "human" things. For example. to type, leave a note, and ask for electric blankets because they are cold! The cows go on strike, along with the other farm animals, until they get their blankets. This is a very enjoyable book to read, while also teaching an important lesson on compromising. The cows stood up for themselves and demanded better living conditions. They would not settle until they got what they wanted. The ending is even funnier when the ducks ask for a diving board and the last page shows one jumping off. This book would be a really fun read aloud book!
    • 5/5
      This entertaining tail Farmer Brown's cows who happen to find an old typewriter in the barn one day. They decided to type a list of demands they want met or they will go on strike. This humorous story teaches the art of negotiation and compromise. Caldecott Honor Book. Great read for all ages.
    • 5/5
      This book is hilarious. The cows have an electric typewriter so they make demands on Farmer Brown by typing a note to him. Then the hens do the same thing! Along comes a neutral party--the duck, The outcome is not what you might suspect. I think it would be great fun to read this book to a preschooler because the ideas are silly, the illustrations are terrific, and the story introduces quite a few ideas to discuss. In addition, you can explain to a preschooler what a typewriter is before they all completely disappear! :D

      Cows that type?! Hens on strike?! Whoever heard of such things, wonders Farmer Brown, as he deals with the messages left for him by his herd of cows, informing him that they want electric blankets for the cold... and that the chickens do as well! Using the neutral Duck as a negotiator, farmer and animals negotiate, until a compromise is reached. Unfortunately for the farmer, the typewriter falls into the hands of the ducks next...Originally published in 2000, and chosen as a Caldecott Honor Book in 2001, Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type is a hilariously entertaining picture-book romp! I would imagine that young listeners will get quite a few giggles out of Farmer Brown's outraged incredulity (I know I did!), and will enjoy following along as the cows negotiate better living conditions. The artwork by Betsy Lewin builds on the madcap humor of the text perfectly, and is very appealing. Recommended to young children who enjoy stories with a silly sense of humor.

      I liked the book “Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type” by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin. First I liked the book because of the human- like characteristics of all the barn animals. For example, the cows find a type writer and know how to read and write letters. Also, the cows ask the farmer for electric blankets because the barn is too cold. The chickens and ducks also have human- like characteristics because they can read and write and they also ask for better working conditions/favors from the farmer. When the animals don’t get what they want they go on strike so the farmer has no milk or eggs to sell or eat. The human like characteristics of the barn animals makes this book humorous and fun to read. I also really liked the illustrations in this book. For example, when the farmer was upset, you could see the farmers rage in his shadow. The illustrator drew the farmers’ straw hat to appear that that his hair is disheveled and on end. The illustrator also used fun/light colored backgrounds to show the mood of the funny story of the farmer’s predicament. I think the message in the story is to treat others fairly and how you wish to be treated. Once the farmer treated the animals fairly he got the milk and eggs he needed. It was necessary for the farmer to compromise with the animals and treat them as he would want to be treated.

      Click, Clack, Moo, cows that type is such a great fun book. I love the imagination that it teaches the children that anything can happen. Cows don't really type but it would be interesting if they did.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book for many reasons. I read this book as a child and it was always one of my favorites because I thought it was so funny. I like this story because it has patterned/ repetitive language, organized writing and the plot of the story. Every time the cows type a letter, it says "click, clack, moo" and then at the end the ducks get ahold of a type writer and it changes to "click, clack, quack" which I think is funny and clever. The writing was in a font that looks like it would be used on a type writer which made it realistic and interesting to read. The plot of the story was humorous because cows can't type but that is how they communicated with the farmer. The conflict was that the cows wanted heated blankets so they were not going to give the farmer milk and in the end they got the blankets. The main idea of this story was to demonstrate if someone is not being treated right or disagree with how they are treated they can go on strike and stand up for themselves and their rights by boycotting or trading to make the situation fair.
    • 5/5
      The cows are too cold in the barn so when they find an old typewriter, they start typing up demands for the farmer to buy them electric blankets!This is a clever, entertaining read about learning to cooperate and meet each other's needs. It could be used in a classroom setting to start talking about higher level concepts of the working world, such as unions and bargaining. It's also just a lot of fun to read aloud with all the animal sound effects and whatnot. Every child I've shared this book with ends up loving it, so it's definitely a keeper.
    • 4/5
      This book is so cute and very funny! One reason why I like this book is because of the word choice the author uses. She uses alliteration throughout her book and she also uses repetition. After the cows show Farmer Brown they can type with the typewriter, they start to request things from him each night. One night they type a letter explaining that it is too cold in the barn and Farmer Brown gives them electric blankets. Another reason why I liked reading this book was because of the illustrations. The illustrator designed each page with watercolors that blended beautifully together. They were not too subtle and not too aggressive either. They were very parallel to the text, which is important. The main idea of this book is to display a humorous depiction on animals to young children and to use your imagination to become entertained.

      Growing up, this was my FAVORITE book to read with my grandpa. This book is great for children grades K-3 as a read-aloud or independent read. I would use this book for a lesson on onomatopoeia because the words "click" and "clack" actually sound like what a typewriter sounds like. I could also use this book for a lesson on writing letters because the ducks and cows write the farmer letters.i think the kids would like this book because it is funny and is short enough to where students will not get bored when reading it.
    • 4/5
      This book tells the story of farm animals who have complaints and they find a type writer. They type out what they want form the farmer and until they get what they want they will not provide the farmer with what he needs. The farmer agrees to give them what they want. Illustrations are fun and colorful. This book is full of humor and imagination. Kids wonder how animals think and this book kind of gives them a humorous insight.
    • 4/5
      The cows get a type writer and it inspires them to unionize along with the chickens for electric blankets. This story is just as funny in Spanish as it is in English. This would work well with a young audience. I think they would enjoy Clic Clac Muu and find the story very funny.
    • 4/5
      This book is about farm animals that go on strike and write persuasive letters to Farmer Brown. It can be used in a classroom to teach Elementary students about how to write a persuasive letter to the school faculty or anyone for that matter. It would be great as a read-aloud because it is hilarious and gives a new perspective of farm animals.
