We have both a board book version and hardcover copy. The board book version has been invaluable and relatively indestructible for those early years. The board book is in a slightly abbreviated form than the hard copy. When we recently reread the hard copy, my older boys pointed out the differences. (I was having too much fun making all the noises to notice.) Now Mr. Brown talks to the inanimate. Pop pop. But who put the bottle into the air? Did Mr. Brown? His eyes are again closed. There is someone off screen. There must be. Is it the narrator? We talk about how gently sprinkling our writing with onomatopoeia (when appropriated) can add to the descriptive value of our work. Just think how much more powerful the word, “BOOM!” is then “Thunder sounded in the sky.”

A game that can be played with this book in mind is calling out a sound and having others guess the object or person. Or just make up silly sounds and then try to put them into written words. El Sr. Brown es fantástico imitando sonidos! No solo puede hacer pop pop como un corcho o bzzz bzzz como un abeja, también puede imitar otros sonidos raros… como el mua del beso de un pez o el chomchom de un hipopótamo que masca chicle. Ideal para fomentar los juegos imaginativos a la vez que los niños aprenden a leer, ¡El Sr. Brown hace MUUU! ¿Podrías hacerlo tú? hará que los pequeños no paren de reírse (¡excepto cuando mastiquen!). Cinquain (pronounced "cin-kain") is a five-line poetic form, using a wavelike syllable count of two-four-six-eight-two. Read Mr. Brown Can MOO! Can You? or another picture book that features sound words to students to familiarize them with the story before you begin looking for examples of sound words. Allow time for discussion of the book and to answer any questions students have. I can't escape him. No. No. He has large friends. The hippo, arguably the most dangerous creature on earth, is his friend. Brown has one sedated.

Session Three

Have students look at this chart of animal sounds in a variety of languages and sound out the animal sounds listed there. Discuss why different cultures might say and write animal sounds in different ways. Overall, “Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?” is a fantastic book for anyone who loves reading about sounds and loves reading Dr. Seuss books in general! I would recommend this book to children ages three and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book. With students, examine the list and identify what things make each sound. In one regard, students will be demonstrating memory by recalling the item in the book that makes the sound, but they might also brainstorm alternate items that make the sounds. For instance, the sound "Boom! Boom!" in the book is associated with thunder. However that sound might also be someone beating on a big drum.

Mr. Brown is a sound-making wonder! He can not only pop pop like a cork and bzz bzz like a bee, but he can also make some very unusual sounds . . . like the mua of a goldfish kiss and the chom chom chom of a hippo chewing gum. A great way to encourage imaginative play while learning to read, Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? will keep kids laughing (when they’re not chom chom choming)!

Personalized picks at your fingertips

For now, Brown eek eeks like a squeaky shoe. A rooster crows. Mr. Brown crows, his eyes still shut securely. He is not aware of his own actions. Or he doesn't want to be. Why? In true Dr. Seuss fashion, the illustrations in the book are creative and fun. My boys love to point out silly aspects of a picture (“Look, mom! Gloves and shoes on bees!”).

This Book was also used in the Random House Home Video Series which entitles as "Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Video" along with two other books Dr. Seuss's ABC and I Can Read with My Eyes Shut!. In Session Three, offer students choices beyond the cinquain. Students may also compose acrostic poems, theme poems, or diamante poems using online tools.Helen Palmer Geisel died in 1967. Theodor Geisel married Audrey Stone Diamond in 1968. Theodor Seuss Geisel died 24 September 1991. Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? is a fantastic book for all ages. Young ones enjoy being asked to replicate the noises. Older ones benefit from learning about onomatopoeia, a word used to describe a sound. It never fails that reading this book sparks a conversation and demonstration of onomatopoeia words and sounds. Mr. Brown can make sounds out of anything. Like he can sound like a cow by going, “MOO! MOO!” And he can also sound like a bee by going “BUZZ! BUZZ” There are glove-wearing bees. The picture implies one saying to the other, "Get a load of this clown." Again, Brown is in a bush. Eyes closed, he hides. He buzzes but does not see the bees. The bees know something about Mr. Brown.

Another fun writing and drawing activity for Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?is creating a list of objects and people and the sounds that they make. This is a fun little book (literally - this edition is a very small board book), about all the noises Mr Brown can make and how wonderful he is at making noises, and encouraging readers to make them too. The babies/toddlers (they're around 18 months old) aren't yet at the stage of making animal noises (except for one who can make a dog noise), but they love hearing me make them and I'm sure it'll be only a matter of time before they're joining in.This fabulous and fun book from the one and only Dr. Seuss is ideal for teaching young children all about noises! How about you?" The first occurrence of the question. The first invitation. Why are you in the bushes, Mr. Brown? What does this cow know that it should fear you, prepare to run, and put its tail in an unlikely direction?
