  toward truth.

Resources

• Book Title Click, Clack, Moo! Cows that Type
  (Reviewer  Akio)
•     Have you ever wished you could see cows type?
  Well, in Click, Clack, Moo! There are cows that
  type! This book is funny because the cows want
  electric blankets, but Farmer Brown, the owner,
  takes out his typewriter and types back  NO
  WAY!!!     The cows and hens go on strike, but
  the cows make a deal  theyll turn in their
  typewriter for electric blankets.  They make the
  duck send the typewriter back, but the duck
  steals it.  You are going to have to read to see
  what happen next..    I would recommend this
  book because it is very funny and the pictures
  are very funny.  Who ever heard of cows that
  type!
