 | Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com 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 Average Customer Rating:  
great for teaching toddlers different sounds
| Customer Rating: | | My son quickly memorized all the sounds the animals/objects in this book make. This book involves the child and is very fun every time its read. |
Baby's first Dr. Seuss Book
| Customer Rating: | | We have lots of books but Baby seem to reach for this book every night for our bedtime storytime. I enjoy reading this one too. Dr. Seuss if very entertaining. |
A big favourite
| Customer Rating: | | I grew up outside of the US and we didn't have Dr. Seuss books - at least they may have existed but they weren't used in our schools and we didn't have them at home. Therefore I have never seen the long version of this and am not disappointed by the abridgement. Since most very young children don't have a long attention span anyway I suspect at least some of the disappointed reviews are the result of parents getting nostalgic for a childhood favourite rather than their own child not enjoying the book. My 15 month old loves it, when we have play time it's the first book she brings me to have read to her. You can make a huge game out of this book if you get really immersed in doing the sounds and actions for your child, you can make it very entertaining and educational at the same time. |
not the same but still good
| Customer Rating:  | | I won the hardback version and the boardbook version fo thiss book and the boardbook is much shorter and worded differently. The rythm is not as good and the ryhms aren't as clever. But it is still a good book to put in the hands of you toddler! |
Really funny, the nieces (5 and 2.5) really get into it.
| Customer Rating: | 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. |
