Summary and Uses: This book is about cows that find a typewriter. They learn to type messages to Farmer Brown demanding improvements for their living situation. Farmer Brown refuses their demands so the cows go on strike! This book is already a classic, must-read. It is hilarious and children of all ages will love this book. I would read this out loud and do lessons on communicating ideas and the importance of learning to communicate in good, understandable ways.
