Farmer Brown's cows have found an old typewriter and are driving him crazy with the notes they type up and pin to the barn door. The animals have decided they want electric blankets and there's no way Farmer Brown will grant that request.

The typed notes fly back and forth as the cows and chickens go on strike (no eggs or milk) and the ducks get into the conflict by demanding a diving board for their pond.

As the animals and Farmer Brown "click and clack" away on their typed notes, something has to give. A surprising compromise will eventually be reached that will surely elicit a few laughs from youngsters and their parents.

This barn shaped board book features not only this story, but also a play set built right into the back cover that includes fencing, a set of removable farm animals and Farmer Brown.

Your child will have fun creating his own scenes with these characters but there is a potential choking hazard here.  Make sure this novelty book stays out of the hands of any child who might put the pieces in his or her mouth!
