Farmer Brown discovers that his cows know how to type when he receives a message from them about their need for electric blankets. When he refuses to give them blankets the cows refuse to give him any milk for the day. As the story moves on the cows continue to ask for items for not only themselves but their friends, the hens, as well. This is a great book for younger readers because it will make them laugh. The illustrations in the book are also worth looking at because they focus on many different facial expressions to show what the characters are thinking. Children will also learn the life lesson that although it may seem very difficult to get things you want, if you never give up, there is always the opportunity to get what you are hoping for.

Don't we all wish we could get out of homework sometimes? All ages, young children, high school students and even college students have a dislike for homework. Well a group of four might have just solved that problem. The group is very diverse. It is made up of a geek, class clown, slacker and teacher's pet. A machine is developed to help them with their homework. Can they keep the secret between just them? The Homework Machine is a book that develops a story through the voices of fifth graders and people around them. It is interesting on how the author tells the story from fifth graders perspectives. They worry about many unrealistic things such as being thrown in jail. It is a good, quick read. The foursome learns a lot about each other and become friends. At first they are friends because of their secret, but eventually they become friends by choice. It is a good book that illustrates honesty, friendship, and of course doing your homework! The students learn a lot about each other and not to judge a book by it's cover. The Homework Machine is a humorous and good read for many ages.
