Click Clack Moo! Cows that Type by Doreen Cronin and Illustrated by Betsy Lewin

I just have to say, this is possibly the funniest book to be read to by Mrs. O, seriously, the woman really gets into it. Anyway, in this story Farmer Brown gets the shock of a life time when he finds a note on the door of the barn stating that the cows will not make anymore milk until they get electric blankets. The cows, you see, found an old type writer in the barn and they put it to good use. The chickens soon follow in soot, and Farmer Brown is forced to take action by writing a letter himself demanding milk and eggs. Finally a compromise is met and all is well that ends well. This is a good quick and humorous read that almost any age would appreciate, although it is suggested for ages 3-7. I also enjoyed the rather hysterical water color illustrations by Betsy Lewin. She does a great job of putting expressions in every character...except for maybe the Duck, but the Duck is a neutral party anyhow.
