Amazon.com Review
The literacy rate in Farmer Brown's barn goes up considerably once his cows
find an old typewriter and begin typing. To the harassed farmer's dismay, his
communicative cows quickly become contentious:
Dear Farmer Brown,
The barn is very cold at night. We'd like some electric blankets.
Sincerely,
The Cows
When he refuses to comply with their demands, the cows take action. Farmer
Brown finds another note on the barn door: "Sorry. We're closed. No milk
today." Soon the striking cows and Farmer Brown are forced to reach a
mutually agreeable compromise, with the help of an impartial party--the duck.
But this poor, beleaguered farmer's "atypical" troubles are not over yet!
This hilarious tale will give young rebels-in-the-making a taste of the power
of peaceful protest and the satisfaction of cooperative give and take.
Witty watercolors by award-winning illustrator Betsy Lewin (Snake Alley Band,
Araminta's Paint Box) will make this a favorite for one and all, even if
words such as "ultimatum" and "neutral" throw the younger set. (Ages 5 to
8) --Emilie Coulter
From Publishers Weekly
Plucky barnyard denizens unite to improve their working conditions in this
hilarious debut picture book from Cronin (appropriately enough, an attorney).
Farmer Brown is dumbfounded when his cows discover an old typewriter in the
barn and begin experimenting ("All day long he hears click, clack, moo.
Click, clack, moo. Clickety clack moo"). Things really get out of hand when
the cows began airing their grievances. Lewin (Araminta's Paint Box)
conveys the fellow's shock as he reads: "Dear Farmer Brown, The barn is
very cold at night. We'd like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows."
When Farmer Brown denies the cows' request, the bovine organizers go on
strike. Through the use of the man's shadow, Lewin communicates his rage: the
straw in his hat creates the appearance of his hair on end. With help from
a neutral duck mediator, the exasperated Farmer Brown finally makes
concessions. But, much to his dismay, the cows are not the only creatures
that can type. Cronin humorously turns the tables on conventional barnyard
dynamics; Lewin's bold, loose-lined watercolors set a light and easygoing
mood that matches Farmer Brown's very funny predicament. Kids and underdogs
everywhere will cheer for the clever critters that calmly and politely
stand up for their rights, while their human caretaker becomes more and
more unglued. Ages 3-7. (Feb.)

From Booklist
Lewin's wild line-and-watercolor cartoons are perfectly suited to this
barnyard farce about animals that go on strike to demand better working
conditions. The cows find an old typewriter in the barn, and to the farmer'
s fury, they type messages to him: "Dear Farmer Brown. The barn is very
cold at night. We'd like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows." When
he refuses their request, they put up a notice: "Sorry. We're closed. No milk
today." The hens are cold, too, so they join the cows--no eggs, either. There
are ultimatums, emergency meetings, and a hilarious surprise ending. Today'
s preschoolers may have to be told about antique clackety typewriters, but
they'll love the slapstick of the domesticated animals who get the farmer
to toe the line. The thickly outlined pictures extend the fun, with
closeups of the frenzied boss, the stalwart cows, and the hens cozy under
their plugged-in blankets. Then there are the ducks . . . Hazel Rochman
