First graders at Anne M. Jeans School in Willowbrook were a smart and lively bunch who read excerpts of Click Clack Moo with our Operation Early Reading volunteers on Thursday, April 14. 


Some students said they had watched the video and liked the story about Farmer Brown and his typing cows. Although the book was age appropriate, volunteers had the opportunity to discuss some harder concepts when the cows went on strike and when duck, a neutral party brought an ultimatum to the cows.
