One of our all time favorite books, Click Clack Moo by Doreen Cronin. It's been a favorite for Lily since she was two, and Stella has recently discovered a love for this humorous story about cows and hens.
Farmer Brown thinks it's odd when he hears typing sounds coming from the barn. But his troubles really begin when his cows start leaving him notes. First they demand better working conditions...and then they stage a strike. Doreen Cronin's understated text and Betsy Lewin's expressive illustrations make the most of this hilarious situation. Come join the fun as Farmer Brown's savvy -and literate- cows turn his farm upside town! -Barnes and Noble

ReplyDeleteThese books are going to be the free toy in Chick-fil-a kids' meals during June/July (depending on your location). I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYou should hear it read (with typewriter sound effects) on Weekend Editon.
