Summary: Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You
Review: My daughter loves this book. We began reading it to her when she was about 15 months old. The best part is that thunder and lightning are addressed in the book. So that when she was a little scared of a thunder storm, we just say "boom, boom, boom" and laugh like we do when we read the book. Now she loves to hear the rain and thunder, and to see lightning.

Summary: Great Right From The Start
Review: I have been reading this book to my son since birth every night. He loves it. He is now 4 months old and loves to help turn the sturdy board book pages. The different noises that Mr. Brown makes are very intriging to babies and it gives them something to try to imitate. He also likes looking at the colorful illustrations in this book. It is one that we will be reading/reciting for years!

Summary: good book especally to learn memorization
Review: Mr. Brown can moo, can you? If you want a good laugh definetly read this book. It teaches kids the sounds animals make but ith a twist (like popping corks on horse feet) while having fun with it. It also teaches memorization because it asks questions like Mr. Brown can make a sound like a fish kiss -pip! can you? Mr. Brown can make the sound of a hippo chewing gum -grum grum grum, can you? It's quite a funny book, but a good one to read too.

Summary: AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR SPEECH-DELAYED TODDLERS!
Review: My son (now 3) is speech-delayed, and this is one of the first books that actually had him talking along! I would read, "Oh, the wonderful sounds Mr. Brown can do. He can sound like a cow, he can go..." and my son at 2 would yell "MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and do the same with the other sounds! It ENCOURAGES your child to speak by having them make some silly sounds! We even came up with hand gestures for several of the sounds to supplement my son's sign language (ASL) he used at the time. We read this book every night at least 4 times before bed. As his speech flourished (yay!), he began to want to say more of the words himself (we've memorized the book - not hard, and very fun to recite when waiting in lines, etc, heeheehee). Then, we bought him the Dr. Seuss video of ABCs, which has this book's "video" at the end. He watches the video with this book in hand, although the video has a few more sounds (I think this board book is a bit abridged, but not too much), and is now learning to read with the video/board book combination! I am HIGHLY pleased with this book, from it's hilarious illustrations (see lightning/thunder page) to it's musical cadence and silly sounds - it helped my son realize sounds can be fun and silly and encouraged him to play with them when speech was so frustrating for him at the time.

Summary: The Greatest Beginner Dr. Seuss Book Ever
Review: This very short book is a total winner for reading to the very young. Throughout the book, the rhyming is fantastic. This book is also great for helping your children to learn about onomatopoeia, and how neat it is to imitate the sounds around us. Because this book is so brief, it is easy to learn all the words. Knowing the book by heart is extremely useful for keeping your rhythm while your child chews on the pages.

Summary: our whole family can moo ... :)
Review: this is a wonderful book introducing various sounds--animals, items in and around the house ... even thunder--and that's been a wonderful thing. My son has never been afraid of the loud cracks and rumbles of a thunderstorm b/c I've been able to say "that's thunder (or lightning), just like Mr. Brown makes" and then we procede to make the sounds (boom, boom, boom or splatt, splatt, splatt). This is one of the books that I always give as a gift at baby showers b/c the very young can enjoy it--simple, happy and fun!! **My son is now 2 1/2 and still pulls this book off the shelf for me to read to him ... or for him to read to me!

Summary: my child's first book
Review: I started reading this book to my son when he was a year old and he just loved it! He goes "moo,moo" whenever he sees it and it got him addicted to books. Since then, he makes me read to him before bed every night and bedtimes have become a time for family bonding.

Summary: Wonderful sounds
Review: What a great book for babies and toddlers. My now 21 month old will finish the sentences for me. She has always loved this book. It has a great rhyming pattern. She especially likes the last page with all the sounds.
