Caldecott Book #3 - Click, Clack Moo Cows That Type by: Doreen Cronin


Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type by: Doreen Cronin is a fun story. It all begins when Farmer Brown's cows begin typing him letters with demands that are ridiculous. Farmer Brown answers their demands with letters of his own. This leads into the cows going on strike and the ducks are even brought in on the action.

I first read this story just a few months ago when I used it to create a webquest for a literacy class. I read it and knew it would be perfect for the project. I grew up on a farm and will always be a farm girl at heart. As a little girl, I would always talk to our farm animals and secretly wished they would talk back to me. I wonder what they would have said? Needless to say the project became fun for me (I had been dreading it) because I enjoyed the story so much. I was very anxious to share the webquest with my students and we had fun completing it together.

I also recently read some of Doreen Cronin's other books and found them to be amusing as well. Other books include Duck For President, Diary of a Worm, and Diary of a Spider. They are witty and very entertaining for both children and adults!
