Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?

Please come see our newly remodeled site! All of our newest activities will be available there!

Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? by Dr Seuss is one of our favorite Dr. Seuss books. It literally is a book of wonderful noises. You can't go wrong with any Dr. Seuss book -- so when we discussed reviewing a Dr. Seuss book, we decided to go with a less familiar title. This book is great for very young kids as they are just learning to talk and to form words and sounds. My 18-month-old niece loves the pages with the thunder (and lightning), the words are "boom boom boom". That is consequently what she calls the book.

It is a rhyming book which makes it even more fun -- Dr. Seuss is magic with rhymes. (Of course, he is the ultimate work maker-upper.) "Boom, boom, boom, splat splat, splat" who can compete with a master like that!! The sounds are everything from thunder to bees buzzing and fish kissing.

The pictures are classic Dr. Seuss as well. Mr. Brown is a funny looking man with a bushy mustache. He uses lots of colors and animals (always doing fun things like the hippopotamus chewing gum).

One of the reasons this book is "fun" for me, is I get to watch my nephew (who is 4-years-old) read it to my 18-month-old niece. They way he articulates the sounds is a lot of fun to watch.

Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? is a great book to practice your interactive reading skills. By changing the way you say the sounds and how loud they are said makes it a really fun and exciting book to read.

This book is well worth owning.
