Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type (Caldecott Honor) By Doreen Cronin Pictures by Betsy Lewin

I have read this story with both of my children and enjoy it every time. I think you have to have a certain sense of humer to really appreciate this story. The thing I love most about the illustrations are the expressions of the animals, they are priceless! The cows seem so determined to ge those electric blankets! And, it is really amusing when the cows and hens go on strike and quit producing milk and eggs until they get what they want. We can all relate to this a little!The carefree way the illustrator uses color makes the humor really stand out. In the story, the author writes click, clack, moo to look like it is typed. That was really a clever idea. It allows the fact that cows are typing to come across.
Also, The way the farmer gets so frustrated and finally gives the cows and hens what they want, kinda reminds me of me with my own children (sad to say). But, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, to get something accomplished!
