"Click, Clack, Moo"-ed Out

This has been Julia's favorite book for the past several weeks. It's probably because she loves cows (we don't quite know the origin of her obsession) and can say "Mmmmmm" (moo) on every page. She usually won't read anything else until we've read this one first. Last night Jonny was having an unusually difficult time getting her to follow him to her room to read before bed. He started quoting, "Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows like to type..." and she dropped what she was doing, clapped and ran to the rocking chair.

Ha! Just now she saw the book cover image on the screen and she clapped and mooed!

I think this is a clever, cute book and I've always liked it, I guess Jonny and I have just had enough of it for now. But not if Julia has anything to do with it!

P.S. She also likes Duck for President and Giggle, Giggle, Quack - just not as much as this one.

Ha ha, that's so cute! That is a very cute book. I'm sad to say I don't even have it in my collection! I might just have to get it for the boys for Christmas!

I was just going to say that I remember loving the Red Ripe Strawberry, Jill. How funny that it's still a favorite. Remember reading that one, Mel? Anyway, I just giggle thinking about her clapping and mooing getting excited to read. I need to see this girl soon!
