Thump, Quack, Moo-By: Doreen Cronin & Betsy Lewin


I read a book created by the same authors called "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type" for Drama in the classroom and we did a story drama activity with it. I thought it was pretty funny so I tried this one. This one was alright. It wasn't as good at "Click, Clack" but the part I think is so funny is that the animals have such attitudes. They are so funny to read. The mice were also pretty comical. They foreshadowed the next couple of pages by a poster with the weather on it on the bottom corner of the pages. Nothing turned out right for the farmer, as hard as he tried to threaten the animals on his farm. There wasn't a lot of educational value in the book, it would be more of just an enjoyment read and it was a pretty easy read for younger kids to tackle by themselves. The illustrations were nothing too exciting, they were very simple, and pretty much told the story by looking at them. I don't really have a lot to say about this book because of it's simplicity and mainly being written for humor.
