Cronin, D. (2000). // Click clack moo: Cows that type //. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division.

// Click Clack Moo: Cows that Type // is based on a farmer, cows, and ducks. Farmer Brown's cows found a typewriter in the barn and they decide that they love to type, especially messages to Farmer Brown. All day long all Farmer Brown hears to "click, clack moo, click, clack, moo, clickity, clack, moo." The cows start writing Farmer Brown saying they are cold and would like to have electric blankets. Farmer Brown did not think that they should; so the cows went on strike. Then, the hens were cold too and wanted electric blankets. Farmer Brown did not agree with that either; so the hens went on strike. Finally, the cows, hens, and Farmer Brown decided on a compromise. The duck was the mutual party, he delievered the letters. The cows and hens decided to give up the typewriters for the electric blankets; it was a deal. In the end, the ducks kept the typewriter and decided the pond was boring and they needed a diving board; they got just that. This is a great children's book to teach how to compromise.
