Click, Clack, Moo Cows that Type & Dooby Dooby Moo






Click, Clack, Moo Cows that Type
Doreen Cronin
2000
Scholastic books

             Doreen Cronin was born and raised in New York. She decided to go into publishing, and then wrote Click, Clack, Moo. Eventually she went into law school and this book was published. She has also written several other children's books such as, Dooby Dooby Moo (seen below), Diary of a Worm (in later post), Diary of a Spider, and Diary of a Fly.

           Cows that type is about some clever cows who get a hold of a typewriter and they type about how they are cold and want electric blankets, and the barn is closed, no milk. They also type that the hens want electric blankets too-no milk - no eggs. They make a compromise with Farmer Brown. Electric blankets for the typewriter, the ducks then take the typewriter and write that the pond is boring and they want a diving board. For more details read the book!
           I think this book is a really good book for children to show that truthfully animals can't type, but it's fun to imagine. It would be good for about Kindergarten or younger age group. The best way to use this book is to teach students about myths or how to use imagination.

                In this book Farmer Brown is convinced that his animals are up to something, but he can't quite say what it is that the cows, sheep, and ducks are up to. They all perform in the talent show at the county fair, and with ducks talent she wins them a trampoline. This farm is definitely not like other farms you're used to.
               I would recommend this book for ages 5 and under. I would help teach a lesson in saying that this kind of thing isn't real, but it's fun to imagine. Wouldn't it be interesting if the world was reversed? Just like in Click, Clack, Moo Cows that Type this book is full of adventure and fun on Farmer Brown's farm!
