Click, Clack, Moo

At my library, like so many across the country, we have started our annual summer reading club. In preparation we made up booklets with recommended book suggestions according to grade level, which gave me the idea to start a blog to review books and other related ideas. I will include some of my favorite books along with brand new books that have just come out. To start, one of my favorite picture books is Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Typeby Doreen Cronin. It's a wonderful and funny book for all ages, and I personally would recommend it for ages 3–7 in particular. This is a story that will not become outdated. Children will find the animals hilarious since they don’t act the way animals do in real life. It will also teach children how to resolve problems in a peaceful manner. When Farmer Brown doesn’t give the cows what they want, the cows go on strike and refuse to work until they and the farmer can come to a peaceful agreement. It shows how every living creature should be treated equally and fairly. Even if your child is too young to understand the deeper meaning of the story they will still love it and think it’s extremely funny.
