"Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type" library pick by a familial-spawnling. Delightfully surprised it wasn't just a cute animal story but a lesson in collective action & striking for better working / living conditions: No Milk until Electric Blankets; the barn is cold. It's also a Caldecott Honor Medal recipient
