Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises (Bright and Early Board Books)

Rating:
Summary: Silly and Fun!
Review: I began reading this book to my daughter at 10 months. Now that she's 18 months, she can not only supply all of the sounds ("moo", "buzzz!", "boom-boom-boom!") but she can recite many parts of the book with me. This book is perfect for the toddler who doesn't enjoy sitting still; you'd be surprised how long they want to sit in your lap and read this over and over. Now, whenever she sees a picture of a cow, she yells "MOOOOO!"

Summary: A fun, entertaining book for children of all ages!
Review: My 19 month old loves this little book. She Moo's and buzzes and even "hoo hoo's". It has opened up some fun, new and different sounds. Now when it rains, she says "Dipple-Dopp, Dipple-Dopp." This is one of her favorite selections. The illustrations are classic Dr. Suess, and are wonderful. I would recommend this book for toddlers and older.

Summary: A great book for young toddlers!
Review: My one-year-old son LOVES this book! I don't remember reading it as a child, but when I read it with enthusisam and the appropraite noises he is still, content and most of all: listening! I recommend this book for anyone who has had a hard time getting a baby to sit still for reading time.

Summary: A very fun book for young children
Review: My 18 months old son just loves to repeat all the sounds Mr Brown can do. I just enjoy reading this book to him.

Rating:
Summary: Fun for the reader.
Review: Reading childrens' stories to a toddler nightly can get a little dull. The sly humor and poetic rhythm of this book keeps a weary parent entertained as well as the child. I think one day it will encourage my daughter to read.

Summary: Interesting and enjoyable for baby!
Review: Out of the dozens of board books we have been given and purchased for our infant, she enjoys this one best of all. Our four month old enjoys sitting on our laps, looking at the bright illustrations, and listening to us make animal sounds. A fun, rhythmic book which baby can grab and really sink his or her gums into.

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: Fun reading, but not very sturdy
Review: I have bought several of the Dr. Suess Bright and Early Board Books, and they simply don't stand up to the abuse a toddler dishes out. None of the other board books we own have fallen apart the way these have.

Rating:
Summary: Great First Dr Suess book!
Review: Very entertaining and short Dr Suess book. My 3 year old loves it. She can't sit still for the longer books.
