Farmer Brown has some problems.<\/p>\n

It was bad enough the cows had
\nfound the old typewriter in the
\nbarn, now they wanted electric
\nblankets! “No way,” said Farmer
\nBrown. “No electric blankets.”<\/p>\n

So the cows went on strike.
\nThey left a note on the barn door.<\/p>\n

Sorry.
\nWe’re closed.
\nNo milk
\ntoday.<\/em><\/p>\n

Soon the hens join the work stoppage. And what are those seemingly-neutral ducks up to?<\/p>\n

If workers’ rights are civil rights, as the slogan goes, we have a mini theme going this week. (When the boys stage a sit-in protest of my menu choices, I’ll have only myself to blame.) This book is very funny and I can’t read it aloud without hearing (and slightly mimicking) the Scholastic video version narrated by Randy Travis. <\/p>\n
