Written by Doreen Cronin, this book was an excellent read aloud. The pictures were very vivid and large, displaying the characters reactions very well. The cows in the story were tired of working for the farmer and were on strike. They used a typewriter to communicate with the farmer in order to get the electric blankets they wanted.
This book is a great way to talk about strikes, boycotts, and negotiations with younger children. Duck is considered a "neutral party" and was to handle the "ultimatum". Big terms, such as these are throughout the book and help to expand readers' vocabulary.
I really enjoyed this book, as it was a very humorous, yet educational. Click Clack Moo Cows That Type is also a Caldecott Honor book.
