The quirky, hilarious farmyard tale that started it all from New York Times bestselling duo of Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin! Now the inspiration for a new Christmas special, CLICK, CLACK, MOO: Christmas on the Farm. Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows like to type. All day long he hears Click, clack, MOO. Click, clack, MOO. Clickety, clack, MOO. But Farmer Browns problems REALLY begin when his cows start leaving him notes.... Doreen Cronins understated text and Betsy Lewins expressive illustrations make the most of this hilarious situation. Come join the fun as a bunch of literate cows turn Farmer Browns farm upside down. Review The literacy rate in Farmer Browns barn goes up considerably once his cows find an old typewriter and begin typing. To the harassed farmers dismay, his communicative cows quickly become contentious: Dear Farmer Brown, The barn is very cold at night. Wed like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows When he refuses to comply with their demands, the cows take action. Farmer Brown finds another note on the barn door: Sorry. Were closed. No milk today. Soon the striking cows and Farmer Brown are forced to reach a mutually agreeable compromise, with the help of an impartial party--the duck. But this poor, beleaguered farmers atypical troubles are not over yet! This hilarious tale will give young rebels-in-the-making a taste of the power of peaceful protest and the satisfaction of cooperative give and take. Witty watercolors by award-winning illustrator Betsy Lewin (Snake Alley Band, Aramintas Paint Box) will make this a favorite for one and all, even if words such as ultimatum and neutral throw the younger set. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter From Publishers Weekly Plucky barnyard denizens unite to improve their working conditions in this hilarious debut picture book from Cronin (appropriately enough, an attorney). Farmer Brown is dumbfounded when his cows discover an old typewriter in the barn and begin experimenting (All day long he hears click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety clack moo). Things really get out of hand when the cows began airing their grievances. Lewin (Aramintas Paint Box) conveys the fellows shock as he reads: Dear Farmer Brown, The barn is very cold at night. Wed like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows. When Farmer Brown denies the cows request, the bovine organizers go on strike. Through the use of the mans shadow, Lewin communicates his rage: the straw in his hat creates the appearance of his hair on end. With help from a neutral duck mediator, the exasperated Farmer Brown finally makes concessions. But, much to his dismay, the cows are not the only creatures that can type. Cronin humorously turns the tables on conventional barnyard dynamics; Lewins bold, loose-lined watercolors set a light and easygoing mood that matches Farmer Browns very funny predicament. Kids and underdogs everywhere will cheer for the clever critters that calmly and politely stand up for their rights, while their human caretaker becomes more and more unglued. Ages 3-7. (Feb.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Lewins wild line-and-watercolor cartoons are perfectly suited to this barnyard farce about animals that go on strike to demand better working conditions. The cows find an old typewriter in the barn, and to the farmers fury, they type messages to him: Dear Farmer Brown. The barn is very cold at night. Wed like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows. When he refuses their request, they put up a notice: Sorry. Were closed. No milk today. The hens are cold, too, so they join the cows--no eggs, either. There are ultimatums, emergency meetings, and a hilarious surprise ending. Todays preschoolers may have to be told about antique clackety typewriters, but theyll love the slapstick of the domesticated animals who get the farmer to toe the line. The thickly outlined pictures extend the
