Author: Doreen Cronin
Illustrator: Betsy Lewin
Genre: Fiction
Ages: 3-5 years

Summary: Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows like to type, but his problem really start when his cows start leaving him notes. This hilarious book shows what lengths Farmer Brown's animals will go to in order to get what they want.
Pre-Reading Activity: Chart what students know about cows, including what they look like and what their jobs are on a farm.
Post- Reading Activity: Make a farm mobile linking each animal in the book to their job on the farm. After the mobiles are complete, allow students to discuss what the animals bargained for in exchange for doing their jobs.
Reflection: This is a very funny story to read with early elementary students. It is a great introduction to farm animals and what their roles are on a farm. It can also be used as a way to discuss compromise; what the animals wanted and what they were willing to do to get what they wanted.
