Summary: A Boadbook for your baby who loves noises & sounds
Review: My daughter is 21 months and is just now trying to say and copy every word that she hears! She absolutely adores this book, and loves to copy the sounds Mr. Brown can do too! She loves when Mr. Brown whispers like a butterfly!
Dr. Seuss was a great man, his books introduce children to imaginary places, people and things! What a terrific mind! It's also nice that is books can be found in boardbook form, perfect for little hands! An awesome book, that your child will adore!

Summary: Great tongue twister!
Review: I really like to read this book to my little one - he just loves all the sounds it makes and it's a challenge for the adult to get all those sounds out to enhance the story. I think some of these books are written for the adults to have fun as well and this one is no exception. My little one has fun trying to make all the sounds with me and it just makes for a very good and memorable time. Don't pass this one by, it's a classic.

Summary: Fun reading, but not very sturdy
Review: In the old days it was Old MacDonald who had a farm and on this farm he had a cow, duck, and all sorts of other animals, each of which made a particular sound that can be imitated. But then along game Mr. Brown, a creation of Dr. Seuss, who makes Old MacDonald look like the strong silent type. 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 a cow, "buzz" like a bee, and go "hoo hoo hoo hoo" like an owl. Mr. Brown can go "pop" like a cork, "eek eek" like a squeaky shoe, and even make the sound of a hippopotamus chewing gum.I think one of the reasons this is a popular book with beginning readers is not only because kids enjoy making all these noises, but also because parents and other adults get to embarrass themselves in making the sounds on these pages come alive (or a reasonable facsimile thereof). Trying to make the sound of the rain or a big cat drinking is not too hard, but doing 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 be pushing the envelope too much. Of course, you can make up any sound you want when you are reading this to very young children. But you have to keep in mind that the whole point of these Bright and Early Books for Beginning Beginners is to inspire them to read on their own one day, which means you can look forward to being confronted by an indignant young child demanding to know how the noise you made every time you read them the book has anything to do with what is highlighted on these pages. So be forewarned, that sooner or later you are going to be embarrassed reading this book.

Summary: Fun for all
Review: I purchased this book for my two year old daughter at Christmas. It has since become a favorite at our house. We have fun making the noises toghether. In fact, she can now repeat all of the noises and can even apply them to other pictures. The rhythem of the book is easy and fun. A great choice for parents.

Summary: The best book for baby
Review: This little board book is so much fun -- my three month old is mesmerized by it. It's appropriately subtitled as "Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises" -- and it certainly runs through the range of noises. This book goes beyond the introductory cows go moo into a much broader range of sounds -- bees buzzing, corks popping, horses klopping, rain dibble dibble dopping. There is also reference to a soft whisper, so the reader can use a range of dynamics. The illustrations are classic Seuss - Mr. Brown is an odd little fellow with a tall brown hat, a spriggly mustache under his nose, and a haughty chin-in-the-air demeanor. The animals range from the semi-realistic to floppy-footed bizarre. Overall, this book is a delight that should keep any little one entertained for a few minutes.
