5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing fun 23 Oct 2003
By Sonya Myles
Format:Board book
We love this book! Some of my son's earliest speech was associated with the various sounds that Mr Brown made, and as it turns out, we could too! A great book that will entertain for years!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Seuss inspires parents and kids to make wonderful noises 21 April 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
In the old days it was Old MacDonald who had a farm and on this farm hehad a cow, duck, and all sorts of other animals, each of which made aparticular sound that can be imitated. But then along game Mr. Brown, acreation of Dr. Seuss, who makes Old MacDonald look like the strong silenttype. That is because as we learn in "Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?: Dr.Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises," Mr. Brown can do more than "moo" like acow, "buzz" like a bee, and go "hoo hoo hoo hoo" like an owl. Mr. Browncan go "pop" like a cork, "eek eek" like a squeaky shoe, and even make thesound of a hippopotamus chewing gum.
I think one of the reasons this is a popular book with beginning readersis not only because kids enjoy making all these noises, but also becauseparents and other adults get to embarrass themselves in making the soundson these pages come alive (or a reasonable facsimile thereof). Trying tomake the sound of the rain or a big cat drinking is not too hard, butdoing a very hard noise to make like the sound of lighting (which is a"splatt" apparently) or a noise like a goldfish kiss ("pip") might bepushing the envelope too much.
Of course, you can make up any sound you want when you are reading this tovery young children. But you have to keep in mind that the whole point ofthese Bright and Early Books for Beginning Beginners is to inspire them toread on their own one day, which means you can look forward to beingconfronted by an indignant young child demanding to know how the noise youmade every time you read them the book has anything to do with what ishighlighted on these pages. So be forewarned, that sooner or later youare going to be embarrassed reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful poem that begs for participation 5 Dec 2000
By michelle.cale@tesco.net
Format:Paperback
This is a classic Dr Seuss. It is a fairly short poem about a man, Mr Brown, who can make a range of animal and other noises. The illustrations are the usual weird, wiggley, pink and purple Dr Seuss extravaganzas. But it is the words that really work. My daughter has adored this book since she was about 1 (she is now 15 months), and always searches for it in her book pile. The attraction is the sounds which she is learning to copy: Mr Brown can "tick" and can "tock", and so can Katherine; he can "hoo hoo" like an owl, and now she can too. It's a real joining in book which gives us both great pleasure. I recommend it to any parent of a small child.
