Will I love Click, Clack, Moo?

I love this book because of its humour in giving cows human characteristics.

Just the thought of cows typing is hilarious in itself. Children love animal characters that act like humans. It is hilarious while also giving relevance to the child’s world. The large illustrations of cows typing add to the humour and fun in the story.

The onomatopoeia words are fun to say aloud, such as "click clack moo." Children love joining in and repeating these words over and over again. Children are entertained by the fact that the cows are smart and trick the farmer. 

When I asked him why he loved this book, he said, “Because the cows go click, clack, moo.” You can’t really argue with his logic. My son loves books that lend themselves to funny sound-making, to the point where when I’m reading to him, I sometimes feel like a sound effect machine, in the best of ways.

Yay for cow books! Cows can be so charming, and these cows are extra-special—they’ve learned how to type! And they use their new skill to make one polite request. They would like electric blankets. Sincerely, they would. 

I’ve mentioned how much I enjoy humor and a satisfying page-turn. This book showcases another feature that works well for storytimes—a fun refrain. 

Click, clack, moo.

Click, clack, moo.

Clickety, clack, moo.

I have kids say it with me. “Click, clack, mooo!” we say as we watch poor Farmer Brown react to each note. The ending is funny and satisfying and leaves us… show more.
