This award-winning book tells the story of Farmer Brown's cows who find an old typewriter in the barn and write letters to him with various demands like electric blankets. The illustrations are expressive and really compliment this humorous story. As a reader, I enjoyed the imaginative plot and who hasn't wondered what animals or a pet would say to us if they could? As a teacher, this book could be used to discuss personification and other stories students know that use this technique (i.e. The Three Little Pigs). In addition, students could write about the different ways animals and humans communicate and what life would be like if animals could talk or type.
