Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? Dr. Seuss. 1970. 32 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: Oh, the wonderful things Mr. Brown can do! He can go
like a cow. He can go MOO MOO. Mr. Brown can do it. How about you?
Premise/plot: Mr. Brown knows so many wonderful noises. But do you? Mr.
Brown shows little readers all the noises he can make, and, he
challenges them to copy him.
My thoughts: This is one of my all-time favorite, favorite, favorite Dr. Seuss books. If I am ever harsh, cruel, or mean in one of my reviews about a rhyming picture book, blame Dr. Seuss. Well, the school of Dr. Seuss anyway. (I also love, love, love, love HAND, HAND, FINGERS, THUMB by Al Perkins.)
There are differences between the book-book and the board book of Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? Just something to keep in mind.
And completely off topic, Mr. Brown certainly looks a lot like Mr. Noodle from Elmo's World.
