Click, Clack, Quackity-Quack: An Alphabetical Adventure
Animals awake beneath blue blankets Clickety-clack!
The cows on Farmer Brown's farm are typing again. Duck can't wait to show everyone their latest note. Just what are they up to this time? Duck's not telling, but if you follow the alphabet one letter at a time, you'll find out. And you'll have as much fun as the animals are going to have, and learn your letters, too!

Great for teaching young ones the alphabet - so much more fun then when I was a kid!
If you are looking for a cute and creative way to explore the alphabet with a younger learner, this book will do more than a great job. The bright illustrations of farm animals putting on a picnic performance, instigated by the delightful ducks (with help from the typing cows of course), draws in the reader. The story line is quite creative for an ABC’s style work because the reader is able to associate more to the letters and their matching words when they understand how it all comes together....more
Click, Clack, Quackity-Quack is a fun and entertaining book for young children. Cronin brings the letters of the alphabet to life in a colorful and engaging way. This would be an excellent book for students who are just learning the alphabet; so preschool and kindergarten would be the ideal age group. I love that Cronin uses personification and alliteration to create a story in which every word flows nicely off your tongue. For example, "click, clack, quackity-quack." This book keeps the reader'...more
Simply put, I expected more from Click, Clack, Quackity-Quack. I was draw to this book because of its fun and engaging (very alliterative!) title. The title, however, was one of the only things I found interesting about it.

Click. Clack, Quackity-Quack was a book that used different letters of the alphabet and made phrases of two words starting with that letter. I felt this whole book was a little un-organized. It didn't really have a story line. While I was reading I found it easy to get off task and let my mind wander elsewhere. I definitely don't think kids would want to pay attention. The book becomes redundant and does not flow well at all. I would not read this to children if I was not doing a lesson on phone...more
"Click, Clack, Quackity-Quack" was written by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin. This ABC book is both entertaining and enjoyable to read. Intended for young readers (ages 2-5), this book could be used to help learn the alphabet. The book highlights each letter of the alphabet and uses personification and alliteration to help reiterate each letter. It tells the story of farm animals waking up, getting ready, and then going to a picnic.

Click, Clack, Quackity-Quack written by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin, takes you on an adventure through a farm using each letter from the alphabet along the way. This is not your ordinary alphabet book, and that is what makes this book so much fun to read. The book begins with the Animals waking, Ducks dashing, and Goats grooming. The authors did an excellent job making a story that was fun and easy to follow along.

First of all, I loved this book! I found it very entertaining to read, especially since I was reading it to a three year old when I first read it. The author uses each letter of the alphabet to tell a silly story of animals on a farm going to a picnic. We see kittens leaping, ducks typing, and hens helping throughout the entire story.
The illustrations throughout the whole piece are very simple cartoons, but work great for this story. The pictures aren't too much that they take away from the pie...more

I really didn’t like this book, I felt like it was just thrown together in order to write a book, and Hey let’s add alphabets that way people will think it’s educational. It was absolute rubbish.
I prefer my alphabet books to actually be matched up with objects or real words, not just T- tippity – toe or N- nibbling nibbles.
The only thing I found at all entertaining about this book was the illustrations of the kittens on the page with K, L as they reminded me of my own cats with their mannerism...more

I LOVE Doreen Cronin's series about Farmer Brown and his farm animals. This would be a great book out of this series to share with Pre-K and/or Kindergarten students who are learning the alphabet, as well as what each sound in the alphabet makes. The book takes each letter and names a character or situation on the farm that starts with each particular letter. For example, "S is for Sheep Sleeping." Each description has an illustration next to it, so the young reader can see what pictures are mak...more
Click Clack Quackity Quack was written by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin. On each page of the book there was a different letter of the alphabet (going in alphabetical order). For each letter on the page there was an image of an animal or food that started out with that particular letter and an action that would start with that same letter. One example was "pigs peeking". The illustrations are really well done with water colors and the facial expressions on the animals faces would draw the kids in...more
The book "Click, Clack, Quackity-Quack" by Doreen Cronin is a story that tells about the animals on Farmer Brown's farm. This book is written about the same animals from the book "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that type" which is a popular book among students. This is a good book for young/beginning readers to get practice with their reading skills. It would be a good book to use when teaching the alphabet and also to use the pictures to connect with the letters. Students get to see a story develop th...more
Click Clack Quackity Quack by Doreen Cronin caught my attention by how the story fluently flowed while hitting each letter in alphabetical order. Cronin did a wonderful job using a variety of animals and objects that are easily relatable to children and their interests. Also, the story line was interesting because of how it could quickly spark a child's curiosity and interesting by not knowing what animal or action was going to happen next. Visually, the colors and illustrations are creative and...more
This book written by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin, is another great addition to the click clack family. This alphabetical adventure in not only enjoyable, but it is educational. This book takes you on journey through the life of farm animals as they awake in the morning. This is a fantastic book for early childhood and kindergarten.
The illustrations help enhance the story and helps the reader visualize the text, while the words bring new vocabulary to young readers.

This book is about farm animals going on an adventure. Ducks, goats, hens, inch worms, kittens, mice, pigs, and sheep go on an adventure to see where "x marks the spot" for their picnic. After they eat, the all fall asleep "Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z."
I like this book because it can be used to teach young children the alphabet. The illustrations are very simple so it would catch a child's eye, but he would still be able to pay attention to the words. I think this could be very useful in a preschool!

Fans of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type will be happy to have this book. I love that the authors break the mold and step away from just using nouns typical to most alphabetical books, and use verbs, sounds, and alliteration. This also moves through out the day, starting with "Animals Awake" and ending with "Yawns Yawning!" to "Zzzzzz," for a naptime. There are plenty of allusions to Cronin's farm where cows type, and the union loving Duck is busy getting everyone together.
I loved Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type - so of course got suckered into this spin-off alphabet book.
Yes the ducks and cows are there... But the 'storyline' is pretty disappointing (a common complaint I have about alphabet books), and uses a awful, cliched X (often a good indicator of the imagination of the author).

This would be a great book to share with students who are learning the alphabet, as well as what each sound in the alphabet makes. The book takes each letter of the alphbet and names a character or activity that takes place on the farm. The picture beside each letter really helps the child visualize what the sound or action would look like. This book will help children learn and practive the sounds of the alphabet.

Click, Clack, Quackity-Quack, is a wonderful alphabet book for Prekindergarten students. The animals make the story engaging and silly and I love the flow of the book. For example, "goats grooming" "mice munching" are just two phrases out of the story that display how the authors elaborate the teaching of letter sounds. I found this book to offer more than many other alphabet storybooks.

This is a good alphabet book for preschool and kindergarten ages. The book corresponds more than one word to each letter, and also making up some words. Can help children with phonemics, but there are probably better books out there for that. This is a good book with great corresponding pictures.
This is a continuous story based on the alphabets. It is a very easy read for pre-kindergarten or kindergarten-ers when they are learning the alphabets. It does not have a real "story" behind it so the use for this book may be limited compared to other narratives.
This book teaches the alphabet with animals. It would be good for beginning readers because it focuses on the ABCs, but help might be needed with some words like "beneath" or "emptying". Overall, it is a great book to jump off your students with their reading!
This is a great book to use for little kids. It's about farm animals that are helping teach young children the alphabet in a different ways. Doreen Cronin writes great books for children that are great for teaching and introducing a new topic
Click Clack Quackity-Quack is a great book for preschoolers and kindergarteners because the book goes through the alphabet telling a story. Each letter has one or two words starting with the same letter, for example, A: Animals Awake.
The use of alliteration and onomatopoeia make this a great ABC book to read at toddler storytime. The illustrations are very kinetic and tie in to Cronin’s most famous books (Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type and Duck for President).
Like it until the end. I'm feeling silly but I can't really figure out what happened. Did the dump the fish on the farmer? Did they just bring fish to the house and the farmer is surprised by that? So confused.
Very creative way to help children with the alphabet! I loved the way it was actually made into a story, not just letters and words that started with that letter. I also like the farm (animal) setting :)
Duck wants to share something with all the farm animals but he wont tell. They will know what he is trying to tell by following the alphabet clues. Alphabet is used to decribe the things occuring in the farm.
This book would be great to use for Kindergarten because they are just learning their letters. I think it would be cool to see if they notice the pattern. I got it from IUS Library.

Doreen Cronin was a practicing attorney in Manhattan when her first book Click, Clack Moo: Cows That Type became a publishing success. But her book was not published overnight, in fact, she had written this barnyard tale even before attending law school but only received rejection letters from publishers. Five years after submitting the original manuscript she got a call from a publisher who want...more
