Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises (Bright and Early Board Books) Review
User Submitted Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises (Bright and Early Board Books) ReviewsAugust 3, 2008 Really funny, the nieces (5 and 2.5) really get into it. This book is a quick (rhyming) runthough of the wonderful sounds Mr. Brown can do, starting with the prosaic (moo, moo, choo choo) to the obscure and absurd (a "goldfish kiss" (pip!) and a "hippopotomus chewing gum" (grum, grum, grum), those are just two examples). This book is short, which makes it great for early readers and for toddlers learning to talk, as well as for those hurry-through-bedtime days. It's also really interactive, so it's terrific for group storytimes, especially with more active little kids who don't just want to sit down quietly. Every page ends with the narrator asking if you can make that noise too - and trust me, they can. June 29, 2008 So Can You! Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? Dr. Seuss This is a book of sounds. It helps beginning readers learn to sound out words. When I was working on words with my oldest daughter, I soon found the my second daughter was also reading the words. Before you know it the children have learned all the sounds along with Mr. Brown. I highly recommend this book for young readers. Jill Ammon Vanderwood, author Through the Rug Through The Rug: Follow That Dog (Through the Rug) June 17, 2008 My boys love this This is one of those books that I can't get away with just reading once a night to my kids. They ask me to reread it over and over again. My three year-old and my 18-month old love the rhymes and the pictures. It's their current favorite. They love making the noises as I read. I think this is a must have book for the preschool and toddler crowd. It encourages interaction and is just plain fun to read. April 16, 2008 A disappointment I bought this book for my 18-month old. The illustrations and colors are not too engaging to me, and my daughter is actually scared of the book! Perhaps the story is too packed with sound effects to be read aloud. It actually sounds a bit annoying. The book is now tucked away in a closet somewhere. March 28, 2008 Gets Kids to Participate Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby This is the rare kind of read-aloud book that transforms the child from passive listener into active participant. As Mr. Brown makes his wide variety of animal noises and other sound effects, both parent and child can't resist joining in. My 4-year-old and I enjoy competing to see who can sound more like an owl, a clock or thunder. February 29, 2008 Pamphlet not a "book" OMG! This paperback "book" is nothing more than a pamphlet. If I had it over (now I am stuck), I wouldn't even pay the $5 asking price for this happy-meal quality comic book/leaflet. February 14, 2008 a book that makes your children wanna READ !!! Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? is going to be a lot of fun for your child to read--or to use as a tool for them as they learn to read. This is a great book for children learning to read independently; the illustrations are grand and the words are relatively simple. The book also teaches, in a fun way, some important words for child to increase their vocabulary at the same time. Great! The book has a page near the very beginning on which the child can write their name to personalize this and draw them into the lessons of this book. Just don't tell them they're going to be learning anything--if they think this is all a game they'll gobble up the information faster than anything! The short story introduces a character named Mr. Brown who can go "moo" just like a cow can. We get a picture of a cow and the sound put together with the picture is very educational. The child is also prompted to make the sound "moo" themselves. This way they learn about a cow interactively in a creative, fun way that they're sure to love. The book then goes on to use pictures of Mr. Brown and various other creatures so that the child can see these creatures and learn the sounds that each one makes. The child, for example, is asked to make the sound of a bee on a page where Mr. Brown is making the sound "buzz;" and the child is also encouraged to make the sounds of a cork opening up (pop) and horse feet sounds (klopp klopp). Every few pages there is a "refresher page" that recaps the lessons of the last several pages so that the child can informally review what they've just learned. The hardcover is strong enough to resist any accidental damage your young child may try to do to it; and the quality of the paper is excellent. Overall, this is an excellent book for introducing children to animals and wildlife. They see the pictures and make the sounds of each creature as they see Mr. Brown (the informal leader) do the same. I highly recommend this book for children just learning to read who also need to be introduced to animals and wildlife. February 11, 2008 Excellent book This book has become one of my 2 year old daughter's favorite books. She absolutely loves the sounds in the books.She can associate the sounds with the various things mentioned in the book and laughs each time we read it together. A must have for little kids. January 31, 2008 Great Book I love this book. My 12 month old daughter loves all the sounds that we make when you read this book. It's so cute. January 20, 2008 A wonderful classic My son cannot hear this book enough (he is 2). So I would say that this book has passed the standard of the toughest critic (and the only opinion that matters), my son.
