Hears an introduction for babies to the wonderful mishmash world of sounds. Listen to the cow’s MOO, the frying eggs’ SIZZLE, and the thunder’s BOOM BOOM BOOM. There are plenty of noises for everyone! Oh, the wonderful things Mr. Brown can do! In this “Book of Wonderful Noises,” Mr. Brown struts his stuff, as he imitates everything from popping corks to horse feet (“pop pop pop pop” and “klopp klopp klopp,” respectively) while inviting everyone to join him in the fun. Young readers who are still learning their sounds and letters will get a wacky workout as they follow along with the very serious-looking, squinty-eyed Mr. Brown. Whether it’s eggs frying in a pan or a hippo chewing gum, the skillful Mr. Brown just keeps topping himself, with a “sizzle sizzle” or a “grum grum grum.” “Mr. Brown is so smart he can even do this: he can even make a noise like a goldfish kiss!… pip!” As usual, the words and pictures of Dr. Seuss make reading (and making all sorts of funny noises) impossible to resist. Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? will stay fresh through many a giggling reading. –Paul Hughes

Review by for Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss’s Book of Wonderful Noises (Bright and Early Board Books)
Rating:
This book is a Seuss classic and is perfect for babies as young as 4 months. The sounds are funny and you can interact with your child who will be fascinated by the noises you make when reading the story. Since the first words for many children are animal sounds, this book helps promote early speech. It makes a wonderful gift and is small enough that your child can “read” it him/herself. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this book. I have been reading it to my daughter since she was four months old and she loves it. The sounds and noises fascinate her and she never takes her eyes off the pages every time I read it to her. This is one of the few books that has kept her attention repeatedly. We read it several times a day. It’s one of Dr. Seuss’s best!

Dr. Seuss’ original book is a wonderful, rhythmic book. That book is suggested for children four to eight years old. It is NOT the same as the Bright and Early Board Book which will pull the same reviews here on Amazon.com as the original book!The board book is an abridged version of the Dr. Seuss favorite. It is not a bad book (my son has fun with the board book which he received as a gift and likes to hear grandma make the sounds Mr. Brown makes). However, it is in no way as detailed as the original (no gum-chewing hippo for example) and the rhythm doesn’t quite “work” in some places (“…He can sound like a bee. Mr Brown can buzz. How about you? Can you buzz? …”).If I could separate my reviews I would give the Bright and Early Board book Two Stars and the Dr. Seuss original Four Stars. Perhaps if I didn’t know that the board book was abridged I’d give it a higher score, but if you wish to make the better purchase, I’d suggest you go with the original.

I started reading this book to my baby as a newborn and she is now 8 months old and loves it! I simply have to recite the words ( which I’ve memorized) and she just lights up. It’s a great book for a small child.

This book deserves many more than five stars for its great ability to engage your child with books at a very young age! With this head start, you can expect to help nurture a lifelong love of books and reading.Dr. Seuss must have known that children respond more to noises than to words. So this book emphasizes noises. It also provides a wonderful opportunity to act. The facial expressions, gestures, and body movements you make will create a strong impression. Soon your baby will begin to imitate the sounds. Imitating the word syllables and words is seldom far behind. “Oh, the wonderful thingsMr. Brown can do!He can go like a cowHe can go Moo Moo”Sections all start off like that. Then they end with the encouragement to imitate:”Mr. Brown can do it. How about you?”You can point to your child then, and repeat the sound with a nice smile. Here are the animals or objects, and the sounds they make that are in the book:bee — “Buzz Buzz”cork — “Pop Pop”horse feet — “Klopp Klopp Klopp”squeaky shoe — “Eek Eek”rooster — “Cock a Doodle Doo”owl — “Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo”rain — “Dibble Dibble Dibble Dopp”train — “Choo Choo Choo Choo”butterfly — “Whisper Whisper”horn — “Blurp Blurp Blurp Blurp”big cat drinking — “Slurp Slurp Slurp Slurp”clock — “Tick Tock”hand on a door — “Knock Knock”egg in frying pan — “Sizzle Sizzle”hippopotamus chewing gum — “Grum Grum”goldfish kiss — “Pip!”thunder — “Boom Boom Boom”lightning — “Splatt Splatt Splatt”The sounds are repeated as partial and total lists in several places. These repetitions can be made very humorous in your reading and cause gales of baby giggles.Except for the lists, there is a beautiful large illustration to help your baby or child tie the sound to an animal or object. A good way to enhance your baby’s enjoyment of the book is to notice what sounds your baby seems to like already. For example, most babies like low, comfort sounds (in the moo moo range). You can add those sounds and your own drawings (or photographs) to go with them. You could have a refrigerator go Hum Hum Hum, or a car go Wrooom Wrooom. Your own ideas will be better than mine, I’m sure. Have a wonderful time being a parent, and be sure to take the time to enjoy the pleasures of books like this one with your baby!
