Summary: All of your animal friends are back!
Review: "And watch out for Duck, he's trouble!" warns Farmer Brown to his brother Bob who has come to watch the farm so Farmer Brown can get a much needed vacation. This book follows the same formula as Click Clack Moo in that the animals get the upper hand on a human, in this case Bob. Bob does his best to follow what he thinks are Farmer's Brown's notes but they were really written by duck. The animals have traded their typwriters in for pencils and now they are running poor Bob ragged. With Duck doing the dictating bubble baths with Farmer Brown's good bubble bath and the movie the sound of Moosic are on the itenerary. The giggle giggle quack in the title refers to the sound the animals make as they get their scheme over on Bob. Of course all good things must come to an end. Farmer Brown catches on to what the animals are up to when he calls and duck answers the phone. If you loved Click Clack Moo you will love this book. Click Clack and Giggle Giggle are my two favorite books to read to my daughter. I never get tired of reading them to her and she loves them just as much. Even though the recommended reading age says 4+ my two and half year old daughter finds these books humerous and enjoyable. I would recommend this book to everybody.

Summary: Farmer Brown has a NEW problem
Review: Farmer Brown has gone on vacation, leaving his brother Bob to watch the farm, but he doesn't know that Duck has found a pencil and is giving Bob brand new (and need I say "animal-centric") instructions! Pizza for dinner, bubble baths for the pigs, and movie night in the house are probably not what Farmer Brown had in mind, but the animals seem to be enjoying themselves, giggling all the way to their electric blankets.This is another fun story from the creators of "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type", with hilarious watercolor pictures augmenting the text. If your child has a sense of humor or thinks farm animals deserve a break, s/he will undoubtedly enjoy this tale of farm animals living the good life.

Summary: Giggle, Giggle, Quack
Review: I became a big fan of Cronin and Lewis with "Click Clack Moo, Cows That Type." "Giggle Giggle Quack" is every bit as hilarious. It is one of those books that you don't mind reading to your child over and over because it entertains the grown-ups, too. If you fall in love with Cronin and Lewis, too, don't miss "Duck For President" (that darn Duck is at it again) or "Diary of a Worm."

Summary: Early Christmas Gift
Review: I recently purchased this book for my 3 1/2 year old nephew with the intention of giving it to him for Christmas. Well, needless to say after reading the book to myself shortly after it arrived, I just HAD to give it to him! This book was really, really funny, and I was incredibly excited to give it to him and I realized I just could not wait until Christmas. When I gave it to him, he was in a bit of a cranky mood, but as I was reading it to him, he slowly inched his way over to me until he was nestled on my lap. He loved it! He had the "Hey, I know that's not right" look on his face the entire time I read it to him (especially when the pigs got a bubblebath). I highly recommend this book for any toddler, especially one who has a really great sense of humor. Enjoy!

Summary: Duck: Barnyard Instigator...Again!
Review: If you enjoyed Click Clack Moo, you will love its sequel, Giggle, Giggle Quack. The team of Cronin and Lewin have done it again with this very funny tale of barnyard animals who cleverly dupe Farmer Brown's brother Bob into getting them what they want. As before, Lewin's comical, boldly outlined watercolors are a perfect match for Cronin's witty story. You and the child in your life will enjoy this book. Look out for duck...he's a handful!

Summary: An O.K. sequel
Review: If you really love "Click Clack Moo" you will probably like this book. You must be familiar with the premise of "Click Clack Moo," or this book will be very confusing. Even to the seasoned "Click Clack" reader, the plot is not very clear. My kids are not very interested in this book.

Summary: Funny for kids and parents
Review: My sisters and I found this book while we were gift shopping at Toys R Us. We all took our turn reading and giggling over it. It is so utterly cute. I'm sure parents will be taken with this book as much as their children. Take special note of the duck in the pictures.

Summary: Giggle, giggle, oh it's so funny!
Review: This book has got to be one of the funniest books I've ever read! It's the sequel to "Click, Clack, Moo,Cows That Type" and continues the story of how a bunch of farm animals, lead by a pencil toting duck, pull the wool over the eyes of Farmer Brown's brother when Farmer Brown goes out of town. Betsy Lewin's illustrations just help to convey how mischievous these guys are. I laughed harder with every page turn. Now I ask the question....will there be a third???

Summary: The companion to "Click, Clack, Moo" is also a lot of fun
Review: This companion to "Click, Clack, Moo" reunites author Doreen Cronin with her illustrative foil, Betsy Lewin. Those bossy farm animals are back and here, they decide to turn things to their advantage when Farmer Brown goes on vacation. Leaving his easygoing brother Bob in charge is a mistake, as the animals get manipulative--demanding pizza, videos at night ("The Sound of Moosic," naturally!) and so on. I can't say enough about Betsy Lewin's illustrations. With just a few swooping lines and a sensitive use of color, she manages to give each animal its own personality while simultaneously carrying along the narrative thrust of the story. Her pictures are a joy to behold and a testament to the power of simplicity. Poor Bob does what he can to make the animals happy, and by the time Farmer Brown arrives home, everything is in hilarious disarray. Although this isn't quite up to the level of "Click, Clack, Moo," it'd be a fun gift for a child who already has the earlier book.
