Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?

My favorite Dr Suess book for toddlers! Silly, fun story. Terrific rhyming and repetition. Not terribly long. Colorful illustrations on each page. The perfect kind of book to start out with when reading to your little one. My oldest son is 20 now and I still remember the fun we had reading this book. When he was 2 years old, I would read the first part of each page and he would recreate the sound and actions we had made up for it (knocking on the book, fish kiss lips, etc.) I later purchased another when my second son, now 4, was born many years later. I just love it. Reading books creates such wonderful memories with your babies and toddlers. I make a point to include this book in each baby shower gift I give. I highly recommend "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?" I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

Fun book. There's no really strong message. A man named Mr. Brown can make a bunch of different noises of things, and the book asks the reader/listener whether they can mimic the noises as well. There's a lot of fun onomatopoeia. While "moo" and "buzz" are common words, it includes noises like a hippopotamus chewing gum ("grum grum grum grum") and other fanciful, playful sounds. The meter isn't quite as obvious in some sections as others. The illustrations are typical Seuss, with bright colors and stylized characters and animals. There's nothing really to it. It's enjoyable and light. My kids enjoy making funny noises. Silly things are attractive to children. The imaginative, whimsical aspects of this book are great. There's no real message to it, but it might encourage children to use their imagination and be more descriptive of things. For more children's book reviews, see my website at drttmk dot com.

I purchased the board book as a gift for a friend’s newborn and I guess I should have considered the book’s dimensions more closely. The book is tiny! To be fair, the listing isn’t misleading but it is still an awfully small book. The book itself is great and seems like it will be durable. I have fond memories of reading Dr. Seuss books growing up, and the pictures are always entertaining.

I'm all for introducing my child to sounds, and I get that the sound of raindrops is difficult to make, certainly difficult to spell. But maybe that just means the child should be interested to more spellable sounds via books and they can learn what rain sounds like by hearing rain? Still though, it's a board book which I like for my very little one and it's small for small hands. And there are plenty of sounds in the book that you CAN pronounce. So it's not all bad. I just skip the rain page.

This is a short, but cute book. My daughter is 13 months and LOVES books. She always wants us to read to her, and the board books are the best way to have her involved, as well. She gets a little testy when you don't let her turn the page on a book and, at her age, board books provide her with that opportunity without mom & dad worrying she's going to rip the pages. The story itself is simple, and calls for your child to repeat various animal sounds. Our daughter is just beginning to repeat the sounds, so it's mainly to get her to associate each animal with their sound right now. This is a simple book, with animals, word/sound association and it encourages reading. I think it's wonderful.

I don't have the heart to tell Mr brown that some of the noises he makes aren't very good. But just when you're like "this guy is a hack", he goes and knocks it out of the park with his impression of a rhino chewing gum. Its spot on. Yet his impression of lightning is somewhat lacking. SPLAT? not his best work.

Our toddler loves being read to, and at his age (under 2 years) a book with rhythm really makes for a fun experience for him since obviously he can't read himself. This is a great one for when he's in a lap, sitting quietly and listening. In addition, this books offer lots of breaks where you can pause and ask him to repeat the sound he just heard. He enjoys trying out the noises and has begun predicting which one is on which page.

This is an amazing book where my child learned how to make different sounds. My child loved that I talked to him in different tones and volumes. The book is very durable. I bought the book when he was 12 months old and has lasted through 9 months of banging, smacking, and throwing, Granted, I have repaired it numerous times with tape, I still find this book to be pretty durable. A tip to making board books last longer - laminate them with tape before giving it to your child. I've learned after having to repair several board books.

Was not expecting the pages to be reworded. Not the original wording as in the paperback version which I read to my older kids many times. This was a replacement to read to my youngest and I was thrown off by the differences.

Used to read this book to my children 35 years ago, so now I'm reading it to two 5-year-old grandchildren and two 2-year-old great-grandsons - and they love the rhymes and and also the sounds that they get to make as I read it! We love this book and it's so much fun to read together!

This is a very tiny book and not at all what I expected after ordering another Dr. Seuss board book recently that had items for the child to "touch" such as a small blanket and "satiny clouds" as well as "fuzzy" things. From what I was reading I was expecting maybe some type of noise would be produced by pushing a button or something, but NO - you make the noises yourself. As I said, I feel very duped by this advertising and the tiny size of this book. I think its worthless. Keep looking. There are other Dr. Seuss board books that are truly interactive and not just misleading.

Good Seuss book! Attached are some photos of the pages(8 pages). Not a whole lot of text, but you can make noises while reading to baby. Colorful and small.

I love these little “Early and Bright” books. They have become my go-to book to purchase before we travel on an airplane – they are simple, colorful, durable, and lightweight. They fit nicely in our diaper bag and are the perfect size for my 2yo to flip through. And the Mr Brown Can Moo story is so fun to ready with lots of silly sounds!

Cute book with great interactive story for acting out with toddler during story time. The board book is small but it’s perfectly sized for little hands to flip through. My 1 year old son loves to just turn the pages and look at the pictures even when we aren’t actively reading.

Book is so small. I should have paid attention to the details on size

Love this book! This is the second one we have bought because we wore out our first. This has a very easy flow to the read. Lots of "sound-words" that my toddlers love to hear. I love this one from Dr. Seuss so much that I would even purchase it a third time if need be.

This is NOT the full size book. I was surprised to open the package and find an abridged, pocket size book, especially since it took way longer than normal to arrive. Not worth the time and trouble to return.

I expected to get the full size book. It's the mini version and wasn't so cheap for the mini version. I never would have bought it had I known it was so small

I like that this was a board book bc my toddler ripped the pages of the original book but hate they cut out certain parts of the book!!

My 2-year-old grandson loves this book. It’s one of his favorites. He is drawn to the rhythm of the rhyme, as they say. He’s memorized most of the book at this point. I think it’s a fun little book and good for some neural development.

This book is a must-have! I’m a speech therapist and love reading this with my young clients. It provides a great, interactive story time experience and numerous opportunities to encourage vocal play and sound imitation. Highly recommend!

great price. I new it was a board book but didn't realize how small it would be. I thought it would still be a regular size board book.

Definitely one of our top 2 favorites. Everyone loves the noises, it's a fun and relatively short board book, perfect for babies and toddlers. We never not have fun with this one. Really recommend.

Dr Seuss anything is great for kids. Especially because the use of words exposes young ones to different vocabulary, colorful pictures and patters with rhyming. Research shows that exposing the youngest kiddos to books (read aloud to them) helps their brain become familiar with patters, word use and thoughts to paper. Dr Seuss books draw on all of those qualities and help develop young ones ability to comprehend text.

I grew up with this in a traditional format but board books are the bomb. And this one is perfect for our 1yr old grandbitty to toss around independently or for us to sit and read together.

Ordered these for my wife's pre-K class. Did not realize that the books would be so small. Well, my wife can be assured that no one else will have exactly the same books that she has in her classroom...

The main thing my niece requested for the baby was books and her fav are Dr Seuss. These are great books to have because they grow with your child. From infant to early reading. Another thing I liked is how it fits in diaper bag

Love reading this book to my son. Hes 8 months and so interested in different sounds...it always manages to get a laugh out of him. The small size is great too!

This is the perfect little board book for my 6 month old son. He adores this book. I’ve read it way more times than I would like - but every time I pull this off the bookshelf, as soon as he sees the cover he just lights right up. Mr. Brown Can Moo is great for babies. It’s also easy to memorise because parents will read this an infinite amount of times.

i think this book is useless...

The board book version is pretty small- smaller than I expected- but I actually like that so we can keep it in the diaper bag. This book has been a HUGE hit with my eight month old twins, it makes them laugh every time!

Love it. My child loves to do the different sounds except the review section. Always turn back to the start there. Also it isn't long.

My 2 year old (at the end of this month) usually whines when I try reading her a new book but she didnt fuss at ALL on this one (apparently we hate change lol)! She loved this book and would mimic the sounds.. I def see reading this book NIGHTLY for a WHILE in my near future. ;) BUY IT!

My 3mo old loves this one. It's his favorite of all his books because the different noises interest him so much. The board book is sturdy and a decent size. We keep it in the diaper bag for him to look at when we're out. So it gets banged up a bit but it's no worse for the wear.

My 3-year old grandson loves this book! It arrived in great condition because it was packaged very carefully! It arrived on the day it was promised to arrive.

Smaller than I thought. They are great quality though and very sturdy especially if baby wants to get at it. Not paper pages.

This is our 2nd favorite book (1st favorite being chugga chugga choo choo). Typical Dr Suess rhymes, but NO made up words that are difficult to pronounce (yay). Great text & illustrations; my daughter (almost 2) tries to say [most of] the sounds as we go along. Definitely on my list of books good enough to gift!

My one year old loves to flip the pages by herself. This book has decent vocabulary, bright colors, and love the board pages. I recommend it.

These board books are truly great - they stand up to little ones and last. I love reading these to my little one

Our ten month old loves hearing us make the noises. Only complaint is I wish I got the hardbound edition cos baby is gonna tear it pretty soon

Exactly as described. Cute book. Lots of fun for my kids to read as they love doing all the sound effects that Mr Brown can do!

Great for child development, classic book, my daughter almost has all the sounds down.

This was smaller then I expected for the price but it seems all the Dr. Seuss's books are expensive

Such a fun book! This board book version has a good rhythm to it and flows nicely. It is different than the original and larger version.

This is one of our favorites! My son has loved this book from a very early age and we have worn out our first copy of the book. It’s great for babies! A sturdy board book that lasted us 3 years and that is with being read multiple times a day and carried around/well loved by my toddler.

My little daughter loves this book! She loves making animal noises with Mr Brown.

My children and grandchildren love Dr. Seuss books and this was one of their favorites. Bought recently for a gift.

One of our favorite Dr Seuss books. Bought this as a gift to keep it going!

Such a fun book. But be ready to read it about 20 thousand times.

This is a staple baby shower gift Not only is it a classic, it’s good for travel as well as home.

Love this book. It was my kids favorite when they were little. Great baby shower gift.

Silly little book that both of my other babies loved.. 8 years later... surprise! I need another copy..this little guy loves it too.. knock knock knock it's a little family tradition for dad.

Bought for grandchildren because my children loved it when they were little.

Another Seuss classic! Excited to find it in a board book

Great book for our grandson to have and learn to read from

This is a very cute book. I love board books because I have two rambunctious boys. The story is very cute however, my one year old doesn't seem to care for it.

It's hard to find board books that strike the right balance. Many are so simple there's just nothing to them -- you don't really get to settle in for a nice reading session. But abridged versions of longer picture books often lose the magic of the original. Congratulations to the folks who trimmed "Mr. Brown" down to size. It has a wonderful, natural rhythm -- even zippier than the original! And my baby daughter LOVED hearing us make all the silly noises. When she was 9 months old she'd already started imitating this book, wagging her finger bag and forth and going "tick, tock" like a clock. Fun for all!

Great reinforcement story of sounds for my speech delayed kiddos.

A special, fun, and favorite book for ages 2-5. Who doesn't want to moo like a cow? So much fun it tickles the funny bones.

A short board book that my granddaughter loved!

great sturdy book. My Sped class loves Dr. Suess and I love that its a little bigger than the other board books.

My 10 month old LOVES this book. She lights up every time we read this to her. She also grabs it and pretends to read it turning it around in her hands. So great. We do funny sound effects and really get into reading for her. I think that is so important to do in order to engage your baby/child when reading.

I purchased this to replace one lost years ago. I've often thought of this book. Most of Dr. Seuss books are great. She has a small library of them. I'd recommend!

Been all my kids favorite for years. We have several copies, ones they can break or chew, ones to read.

Good kid book, it's a small board book just in case someone doesn't see in the description.

This is the second copy that I have bought (they do not survive more than one kid worth of growing, biting, chewing and slobbering). I love them!

What could be better?! Mr. Brown is a wonder!! Boom boom splat splat!!!! Dibble dibble dop dop cock a doodle do!!

Great quality book for children. The board books are great for young children so they can't destroy them as easily. My 18 month old loves this book. I read it probably 20 times a day. It mostly focuses on learning sounds, which is great for teaching little ones just learning to talk and for keeping them entertained at the same time.

A ton of fun to read. And it just so happens to be the first book that really got my son 'talking' making animal sounds, knocking on his crib, even clicking his tongue. It's a must in my opinion.

My daughter loves to make sounds along with this book. Great quality, child friendly size, and fun book!

Great little book, very cute.

As expected! Love Dr Suess

Shipped Fast. Great Price. Great BOOK.

This is my favorite Dr. Suess book. I bought it for my granddaughter for Christmas (it was her Mom's favorite at her age!) - She has a cousin coming in August. I'll be ordering another! It is a less common Dr. Suess book so I was very happy to find it on Amazon.

Exactly as described.

Adorable book for infant and toddler, love the last page reviewing all the sounds.

product as described

Very good condition.

This is a wonderful book for teaching babies different sounds.

super cute and easy to hold.

The description said it was a 36 page hardcover book, but we were sent a small board book. Board book was an option, but not what we selected. It was not worth the price paid. Buy with caution.

Great price for a good book. The

Not a necessary book to add to your Dr. Seuss collection, but it’s okay.

You can't go wrong with this book! This is actually the second time I bought this for my daughter as it's her favorite and the first one got water spilled on it! She loves trying to make all the sounds and giggles as I read it to her. This is a perfect gift for a toddler or even a baby shower!

A gift for a 14 month old. Nice illustrations. Fun to moo etc. with the animals.

Bought for grandson

No problems!

Kids love this book on animal sounds.

One of my daughter’s first books, and she’s 21! Always a classic! She can still recite it word for word as can I!

All toddlers should have this book! So much fun and very interactive. Definitely one of my kids favorites. We especially love that Mr. Brown makes thunder - they just think Mr. Brown is around during a storm and they are never scared.

Good book!

Perfect

Back by popular demand, this book was requested by my niece's mom. She had read it as a little girl & knew her daughter & son would both enjoy it too.

My 15 month-old grand daughters just love this book. Their favorite part is when they hear me say BOOM! for thunder. Lots of giggles.

Perfect condition. Great sturdy book for my toddler. He loves it! And enjoys trying to moo and all the other sounds.

My son goes crazy when I read this to him ! He is only 7 month old and love this book

daughter loves it. She like trying to make the sounds.Its a bit smaller than normal so thats nice for travel.

Gift

my daughter loves this book! she first fell in love with it when she was 10 months old and now will keep grabbing it for me to read over and over. She especially loves the rain part and dances when it comes up

Amazing story!

Another great book from Dr. Seuss. The thing I love most is the size - easy to bring in the diaper bag, and the bright colors. The story and words are fun but it's also fun to be able to throw it in my purse :)!

Classic book....gift for the grandbaby.

Love this book for my baby. It's small and fits perfectly in her hands. Great quality for the price as well.

Love book...perfect for car travel...bright pictures..very sturdy.

Lots of fun

great

This is one of the few books my 10 month old will sit and listen to all the way through. She loves it. And it's so well written I can read it every night and not get annoyed.

Granddaughter loves to read.. Good book,,

Who doesn’t love Dr. Seuss? My daughters grew up on all these books and I got this for my nephew who loves cows.

My son has loved this book since he was only a few months old, it was the first book he laughed at.

Great short rhyming book for babies and toddlers! This is a household favorite because you can make sounds with the wording!

My one y.o. grandson loves to have this book read to him. I also gave one to my great great nephew as part of baby gift.

Great condition. Toddlers like it.

Christmas Time was more about toys than my favorite pastime of reading🤨🤨

A fun way to help my smallest granddaughter learn sounds & practice them.

as described

Wonderful book for 1 yr old; it becomes better and better the older he gets. He says "Boom" the minute the book comes out.

My toddlers loved this book! They enjoyed all the sounds! I only wish it was the whole story and a little taller of a book, but I understand for their attention spans why it was shortened! Thankful to add this to my preschool classroom library!

My one year old loves this book

I love Dr. Seuss he have the best books ever

Great for my 1.5 year old! Loves it

arrived on time, cute book for my grandchildren

good

Bought this as a gift and they love it! Happy with the purchase!

Thought this was a hardcover book with paper pages....it was a board book. Which is ok. Bought it for a 5 year old as thdy are reading and love Dr Suess books!

What you expect from the Dr.

I can indeed moo. And do so frequently. Maybe that's why my son frequently calls me a moo cow? But seriously it's a cute book that we love reading together.

We've always loved this book! Over ready to all three of my kids over the past 12 years and it never gets old. I loved to read it to them it's so fun 😁

My absolute favorite book to read to the kids. I actually bought this for a second time because the first one got really dirty and was falling apart from all the loving my 3 kids were giving it. LOVE it!

Super cute book, not my daughter's favorite but its a good short read with animal noises (which is always a win with the under 1 year crowd)

We ordered and paid for a new one, but received used! Bummer...

Love the book, the story and illustrations, just wish it was larger

Nice book grandson love it

This was one of my daughter’s first favorite books

Loves trying to make the sounds

Purchased for a one year old's birthday. He loves it!

Lovely book to read to your little one they will love the rhyming words and you can add actions and sounds for more fun

Too small

One of my very favorite books for babies! My grandson loves to hear the various sounds made while reading this book, and enjoys imitating them as he follows along.

This book is in excellent shape and arrived quickly. The 2-year old is very pleased.

Love this book my favorite!!! Greek rhymes to teach your child sounds. Only reason I never gave it a five was due to the printed colors were not vivid.

Love it

I only wish he made more books then he did!!

A fun, cute board book. Easy for small hands to hold. They like mimicking the noises.

Classic! My 2 and 3y/o loved it!

My 21 mo th old loves this book! He giggles the whole way through and imitates the sounds. Always a fun book to read with him!

My son’s favorite book!

My 2 year love this book and the animation of mom and dad when we read it to him. He would have us read it to him over and over before bed. The hardcover is great.

My kids loved this book. I bought it for my niece.

Simple story line and catchy. My kids love this book and beg us to read this book over and over again.

Love these books

Love the Dr. Seuss Books.

Boardbook not what I wanted

Dr. Seuss’s book of wonderful noises! This book is a lot of fun to read. I Bought it for my 2.5 year old son. He ask me to read it to him at least twice every night.

Bought for my as yet unborn granddaughter.

Love Dr Seuss.

Good book

Cheaper than store

Love Dr. Suess great book

My son can’t get enough of this story! He loves it, so I love it!

Can't beat dr suess

Perfect for babies. It's Dr. Seuss, the master!

Perfect for little hands

I’m late to party: Dr. Sues has toddler books?!? I loved reading this to my 16 month old. She loves all the sounds!

A good book for children.

Great little book for my baby niece! She loves it!

Good for kids

Great interactive parent/child readalong book. Dr. S knows his stuff!

I should have noticed I was purchasing the small version of this book.. My children still love it either way!

I was very disappointed. I did not realize this was a small book. I thought it to be the size of ones I had growing up. I would not have purchased for $6.00

9 mo old loves this book. He literally laughs at the sounds!

Covers are boards. Pages are paper.

A wonderful book for very small children

Very happy little one

Great board book, holds up to the wear and tear of my little children as well as my infant who puts everything in her mouth.

Great shape!

My 2 year old loves these books!!!

Got this for a gift, great book!
