CLICK, CLACK, MOO COWS THAT TYPE

From first moo to last quack, this recording has it all--a story that leaves the listener chuckling; understated, humorous illustrations; cheerful barnyard music and realistic sound effects; a homey narrator; and a fabulous surprise. In CLICK, CLACK, MOO, for which illustrator Betsy Lewin was awarded a Caldecott Honor medal, a unique and deceptively simple problem causes consternation for Farmer Brown. As typewriters click away, relationships at the farm deteriorate, and even negotiations fail to bring satisfactory resolution to each of the parties. The beauty of both story and recording is that any listener, regardless of age, will take something wonderful away from the experience. A.R. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 02]
