Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book for toddlers!
Review: My son loves this book. It taught him to knock on doors, and when he hears thunder, he says, "Boom, Boom, Boom!" He loves for me to read this book over and over. It will teach your child to "Moo" whenever he/she sees a cow!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Decodability Ranking Level 3
Review: Use Dr. Seuss's mooing Mr. Brown to DECODEnglish!

Explicit pronunciation, spelling, and reading skills can be taught with books kids LOVE to read.

At this same level of linguistic complexity is "Pooh Can! Can You? by Disney.

Also... Poems from "A Light in the Attic" by Shel Silverstein: This Bridge; Toad and Kangaroo; Ladies First.

Poems from "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein: Ma and God; Smart; Dreadful.

Poems from "Falling Up" by Shel Silverstein: My Robot; Battle in the Sky; Long Scarf; Kanga Ruby.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What great entertainment for a toddler......
Review: I purchased this book simply because it was ranked number 1 in the childrens books section. I do not regret purchasing this for one minute. It keeps my 10 month old son well entertained and we have to read it at least 5 times first thing in the morning and just as many times again in the evening before bed. "Mr Brown can knock..." has become a favourite with my son knocking on anything he can when this page comes around.

In fact, the book is so well read that I am now having to order another copy for ourselves, as well as further copies as gifts for other children on the Islands.

Well worth it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Be Careful Which Version You Buy!
Review: Dr. Seuss' original book is a wonderful, rhythmic book. That book is suggested for children four to eight years old. It is NOT the same as the Bright and Early Board Book which will pull the same reviews here on Amazon.com as the original book!

The board book is an abridged version of the Dr. Seuss favorite. It is not a bad book (my son has fun with the board book which he received as a gift and likes to hear grandma make the sounds Mr. Brown makes). However, it is in no way as detailed as the original (no gum-chewing hippo for example) and the rhythm doesn't quite "work" in some places ("...He can sound like a bee. Mr Brown can buzz. How about you? Can you buzz? ...").

If I could separate my reviews I would give the Bright and Early Board book Two Stars and the Dr. Seuss original Four Stars. Perhaps if I didn't know that the board book was abridged I'd give it a higher score, but if you wish to make the better purchase, I'd suggest you go with the original.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific First Book for parents and baby!
Review: This book is a Seuss classic and is perfect for babies as young as 4 months. The sounds are funny and you can interact with your child who will be fascinated by the noises you make when reading the story. Since the first words for many children are animal sounds, this book helps promote early speech. It makes a wonderful gift and is small enough that your child can "read" it him/herself. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fun book that encourages aural interaction with your child
Review: Like many Seuss books, this "Mr Brown Can Moo ..." is pretty fun. The illustrations are very basic, which is great because it lets you -- and eventually your child -- focus on making the many sounds Mr Brown can do. At the end of the book is a "review" page. Because the sounds are in different colors and fonts, your child can easily identify which one he/she wants you to say.

Also recommended are "The Shape of Me and Other Stuff [...]" for the visual representation and "One Fish, Two Fish" because it's got a wide variety of cute stories you and your child will enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book! can be either funny or relaxing,
Review: This was my son's first book in English, and at 11 months, after 5 months of listening to it, he still can't have enough of it. Lately he started making some of the sounds (the rooster's cock-a-doodle-DOOO! and the owl's hoo hoo hoo hoo are his favorites), so I figured he also learned something in the process.

love it. go buy it now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: We started reading this book regularly to my daughter when she was eight months old. She can't get enough of it. She will sit still and listen and laugh as we read this to her over and over. I think part of it is the animation in which we use during the reading, but this book lends itself to that perfectly. I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: His favorite book
Review: We've been reading this book to my 10month child for 3 months and it's still his favorite. His face just lights up and he laughs outloud at the funny sounds his mommy and daddy make. He'll actually stop whining and crying when we recite lines from the book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Buy the original; not the board book
Review: The board book version is a watered down mishmash of the original. All the fun of Dr. Suess's original rhymes and rhythms is lost making this nothing more than an expensive chew toy for your infant. Buy the original and keep some scotch tape handy!
