Summery: Mr. Brown is a very talented man. He can imitate any noise you can think of. From a goldfish's kiss to a hippopotamus chewing gum--he can do it all! Throughout the book, Mr. Brown imitates a wide variety of noises and encourages kids to do the same.

Reflection: What a fun book! What kid doesn't like to make crazy sounds? I remember reading this as a child, and how fun it was to try and imitate the noises myself. The pictures make it all the more entertaining, and the poetry just makes it flow. Dr. Seuss gets it right every time!

Extension Ideas: A fun game to play after reading this book would be to use different instruments and objects to make noise and have the kids guess what it is. Another idea would be to take them to or show a video of a person doing sound effects for a movie.

Mr. Brown can make sooo many different sounds. He can go like lightening and a golfish kiss. Can you? This book discovers a variety of sounds and noises that a person can make.

This was a favorite of my kids. I loved reading this rhyming, sing songy book. My kids loved to try to make the same noises that Mr. Brown could do. It was fun to listen to them try.

In a class you could talk about other noises that students could make. You could have cards with things such as the trees on a windy day, or an alarm clock. Listen to what the kids come up with. I would also take turns and have the kids make their favorite sound that Mr. Brown made. You could also bring in some noise makeres and discover the different sounds you can make with them.

This is a cute book to read to youngers students. It shows rhythmic language and it also gets everyone involved in making sounds.

This story was about a man named Mr. Brown that can make the sounds of animals and things. Mr. Brown can make the sounds of animals and things and then remember the order of them in the middle of the story. This story teaches students to remember the order things happen in a story.

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0679882820, Board book)

Oh, the wonderful things Mr. Brown can do! In this "Book of Wonderful Noises," Mr. Brown struts his stuff, as he imitates everything from popping corks to horse feet ("pop pop pop pop" and "klopp klopp klopp," respectively) while inviting everyone to join him in the fun. Young readers who are still learning their sounds and letters will get a wacky workout as they follow along with the very serious-looking, squinty-eyed Mr. Brown. Whether it's eggs frying in a pan or a hippo chewing gum, the skillful Mr. Brown just keeps topping himself, with a "sizzle sizzle" or a "grum grum grum." "Mr. Brown is so smart he can even do this: he can even make a noise like a goldfish kiss!... pip!" As usual, the words and pictures of Dr. Seuss make reading (and making all sorts of funny noises) impossible to resist. Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? will stay fresh through many a giggling reading. --Paul Hughes
