Buy a cheap copy of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type book by Doreen Cronin. But the book can also be used to start a discussion on everything from letter writing to labor relations!

I bought this book after using it with special needs kids in my third grade class. The language and illustrations are simple but the humor is subtle. But Farmer Brown's problems REALLY begin when his cows start leaving him notes. When he ignores their request, they go on strike, and soon the chickens are following suit. You can find a full set of discussion cards in the Click, Clack Moo, Cows That Type Book Companion or as a separate pack. ![]() The cows in the story find an old typewriter in the barn and send the farmer a note-they want electric blankets. ![]()
