Book Reviews of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type

Book Review: Hysterical, Orwell is spinning for sure!
Summary: 5 Stars

There are relatively few childrens books that are a joy after the twentieth reading, and the third reading in a given evening.

This is one of them.

The artwork is original and inspired and the storyline is hysterical. I'd describe it as a light and funny take on Orwell's "Animal Farm" - almost a tribute more than a direct satire.

I don't give many children's books 5 stars, but this deserves six!!!

One thing - I really wish the various sequels were as good as the original, unfortunately they aren't. Bummer.

Other five star books include "Princess and the Pizza," "The Napping House," "Dexter Bexley and the Big Blue Beastie" and "Pinkilicious"

Summary of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type

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 Brown's problems REALLY begin when his cows start leaving him notes....

Doreen Cronin's understated text and Betsy Lewin's expressive illustrations make the most of this hilarious situation. Come join the fun as a bunch of literate cows turn Farmer Brown's farm upside down.


The literacy rate in Farmer Brown's barn goes up considerably once his cows find an old typewriter and begin typing. To the harassed farmer's dismay, his communicative cows quickly become contentious:

Dear Farmer Brown,
The barn is very cold at night. We'd 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. We're 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 farmer's "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, Araminta's 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
