Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?: Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises! is a children's book written and illustrated by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Seuss and published by Random House in 1970.[1][2]

Plot

The story follows a man named Mr. Brown, who can make a wide variety of sounds, imitating the sounds of animals and inanimate objects. The narrator recites a list of items and animals that Mr. Brown can sound like, each one accompanied by illustrations of the object and an onomatopoeia, which replicates the sound he can make. So Mr. Brown can make the "moo" of a cow, the "buzz" of a bee, the "pop" of a cork, the "klopp klopp" of a horse's hooves, the "cock a doodle doo" of a rooster, the "hoo hoo" of an owl, the "dibble dibble dibble dop" of rain, the "tick tock" of a clock, the "knock knock" of a hand against a door, the "boom" of thunder and the "splatt" of lightning. The narrator the list by suggesting that the reader try to make these same sounds, and the last pages of text feature a list of all the onomatopoeias featured in the book.
