Farmer Brown has a problem – he usually loves the noises on his farm, but ever since those cows found the old typewriter, all day long it’s click, clack, moo – click, clack, moo – clickety, clack, moo! And typing cows are just the beginning. An unusual note launches a milk revolution, and the chickens want in on it too. Did you ever hear of cows that type or farm animals that go on strike? Well, Farmer Brown does not know what to think! His life may get a little less moo-sical, but you and Duck are sure to have a quacking good time!
