Ideal First Dr. Seuss Book for Your Baby!,
By Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 112,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (#1 HALL OF FAME)
This review is from: Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?: Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises (Board book)
This book deserves many more than five stars for its great ability to engage your child with books at a very young age! With this head start, you can expect to help nurture a lifelong love of books and reading.Dr. Seuss must have known that children respond more to noises than to words. So this book emphasizes noises. It also provides a wonderful opportunity to act. The facial expressions, gestures, and body movements you make will create a strong impression. Soon your baby will begin to imitate the sounds. Imitating the word syllables and words is seldom far behind. "Oh, the wonderful things Mr. Brown can do! He can go like a cow He can go Moo Moo" Sections all start off like that. Then they end with the encouragement to imitate: "Mr. Brown can do it. How about you?" You can point to your child then, and repeat the sound with a nice smile. Here are the animals or objects, and the sounds they make that are in the book: bee -- "Buzz Buzz" cork -- "Pop Pop" horse feet -- "Klopp Klopp Klopp" squeaky shoe -- "Eek Eek" rooster -- "Cock a Doodle Doo" owl -- "Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo" rain -- "Dibble Dibble Dibble Dopp" train -- "Choo Choo Choo Choo" butterfly -- "Whisper Whisper" horn -- "Blurp Blurp Blurp Blurp" big cat drinking -- "Slurp Slurp Slurp Slurp" clock -- "Tick Tock" hand on a door -- "Knock Knock" egg in frying pan -- "Sizzle Sizzle" hippopotamus chewing gum -- "Grum Grum" goldfish kiss -- "Pip!" thunder -- "Boom Boom Boom" lightning -- "Splatt Splatt Splatt" The sounds are repeated as partial and total lists in several places. These repetitions can be made very humorous in your reading and cause gales of baby giggles. Except for the lists, there is a beautiful large illustration to help your baby or child tie the sound to an animal or object. A good way to enhance your baby's enjoyment of the book is to notice what sounds your baby seems to like already. For example, most babies like low, comfort sounds (in the moo moo range). You can add those sounds and your own drawings (or photographs) to go with them. You could have a refrigerator go Hum Hum Hum, or a car go Wrooom Wrooom. Your own ideas will be better than mine, I'm sure. Have a wonderful time being a parent, and be sure to take the time to enjoy the pleasures of books like this one with your baby!

This review is from: Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?: Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises (Board book)
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. I highly recommend this book, along with Sanda Boynton's two books "Barnyard Dance" and "Moo, Baa, La La La!" books for infants and toddlers. My recommendation for older kids is Why Some cats are rascals

Moooooo!,

This review is from: Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?: Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises (Board book)
To those reviewers bashing the board book version, I say: get over it! The board book version makes it possible to hold a squirming infant and read and turn the pages at the same time. Accordingly, the baby is exposed to the process of reading at a time when it would otherwise be prohibitive. My five month old loves this book, clearly tries to mimic the sounds of Mr. Brown, and smiles beyond belief as I loudly moo, whoo, buzz, and tick-tock. I think above all else, Suess would want youngsters exposed to his works as early as possible, abridged or otherwise.
