Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?: Blue Back Book (Dr. Seuss - Blue Back Book)

Product Information

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!”). 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. 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!). In 1936 on the way to a vacation in Europe, listening to the rhythm of the ship's engines, he came up with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, which was then promptly rejected by the first 43 publishers he showed it to. Eventually in 1937 a friend published the book for him, and it went on to at least moderate success.

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. 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. Edición en español y rimada del clásico de Dr. Seuss de la colección Bright & Early Books ¡acerca de los sonidos! This fabulous and fun book from the one and only Dr. Seuss is ideal for teaching young children all about noises!

Common Core Standards

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. He squats again, hand to mouth, gesturing with tongue in cheek. Mr. Brown blows an invisible rod. Whisper whisper. Have groups add a third column to their charts and brainstorm details in this column about the animal or location that they've explored. Here's an example to share: Now, close-eyed, he stands on a horse. He makes noises of horse feet. But this is like no horse I have ever seen, Mr. Brown. OPEN YOUR EYES. Horse. Hoooorse. Hores. Whores. The horse is on yellow ground. The only yellow ground I know of is desert. There are no bushes. This is a desert of nothingness. This horse has no mane. He is going through the desert on a "horse" with no mane. It felt good to get out of the rain. The rain comes later, and it makes me worried. Mr. Brown can make any number of sounds with his voice - except, evidently, human speech. But who cares? It's a story. Along with such Seuss classics as "Hop on Pop" and "Green Eggs and Ham," this is one of those "must reads" to children. It's short, the examples of sounds are fun and varied, and the illustrations are engaging. The "Can you?" part of the title is really an invitation to the child or children to whom the story is being read to imitate Mr. Brown and/or the sounds he mimics.

To encourage my older boys along this path of learning, I have them write stories or poems that include onomatopoeia words. For younger kids, I suggest that they draw pictures and sound out the words as best as possible. Demonstrate how to find and think about the purpose of the sound words using this Sample Think Aloud as a guide. Combining brief and funny stories, easy words, catchy rhythm, and lively illustrations, Bright and Early Books are an ideal way to introduce the joys of reading to children.In May of 1954, Life published a report concerning illiteracy among school children. The report said, among other things, that children were having trouble to read because their books were boring. This inspired Geisel's publisher, and prompted him to send Geisel a list of 400 words he felt were important, asked him to cut the list to 250 words (the publishers idea of how many words at one time a first grader could absorb), and write a book. Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him published The Cat in the Hat, which went on to instant success. Discuss the structure of a cinquain, as outlined below, as students look at a copy of the graphic organizer. 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”

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.) Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? is a children's book written and illustrated by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Seuss and first published by Random House in 1970.
