“Cows that type hens on stirck“

The book combines humor, teamwork, and negotiation, teaching children about the power of communication and standing up for what they believe in.

The story revolves around a group of cows that discover a typewriter and use it, such as requesting electric blankets to keep warm in the cold barn. When their demands are not met, they stage a peaceful protest, refusing to produce milk until their conditions are fulfilled.

“Sincerely, The Cows“ I think this quote is funny because during the whole book they always wrote this.

This is a great book to read to get he class giggling or as a break from curriculum. It is also good for lesson as well because it include lots of onomatopoeia as well as has letter writing.

I do not know how I would use this book in the classroom, other than reading it to my students for fun.

Review:
The book won a Caldecott Honor Medal in 2001. It is a funny book about cows and ducks on a farm that can type and use their skill to ask the farmer for whatever they may need. Electric blankets because the barn is cold, a diving board for their pond, and so on.

“Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type“ uses repetitive language and expressive pictures to describe the situation that the farm animals are in: they are unhappy with their living conditions. The main message of this book is one that emphasizes the importance of communication and self-advocacy. This could spark discussion in the classroom about why communication is important, how to communicate, and how to stand up for yourself to ensure needs are met

“Click, clack, moo. click, clack, moo. clickety, clack moo.“ This is repeated many times throughout the book and is a good use of repetition.

“Duck was a neutral party, so he brought the ultimatum to the cows.“

I thought that this was a light/easy read. In a classroom setting, it would provide the idea for the students to work together to come up with an agreement when dealing with an issue or topic on hand. This book has won the Caldecott Award in 2001 and was published in 2001.

This book is a phenomenal piece that describes the powers of negotiation. Throughout the story, you see that the author is trying to convey that the farmer has to give the cows what they want, in order to receive their milk. The author also includes a neutral party that helps the cows and the farmer come to an agreement. The cows decided to give back the type writer and provide the farmer their milk, if the farmer provides electric blankets.

This is such a fun one! I love this story of a group of cows demanding better working conditions from the farmer via type written letters. I shared it with my husband and his response was “F**k yeah!” Thank you @Reggie for sending this one to me. 🐮 ⌨️(there is no typewriter emoji)

The wonderful @Reggie sent me some lovely books, but I want to show off the card! I always love the cards Reggie sends as they are usually related to horror, which we both love. I think this is my favorite so far and I‘m going frame it. 😈

Earlier this week I was gonna post a photo of a bridge and comment how I was going to throw myself off of it if I didn‘t reach 100 books for the year(I‘m joking) Instead now I‘m gonna show how I‘m gonna cheat my way there. I was shopping for a swap and wandered into the kids section and picked up this book all about labor disputes depicted by a group of cows who band together to withhold their milk until their demands are met, of 👇🏼
