Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?
Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? is an app-book version of Dr. Seuss's classic funny-sounds book. The book runs through all the wacky sounds that Mr. Brown can make, providing kids with a lesson in onomatopoeia. Highlighted text makes it easy for kids to follow along with the narration. They can choose to have the book read to them (but they turn the pages), read it to themselves (with no narration), or select auto play where the book is read aloud and the pages turn automatically.

Is It Any Good?
MR. BROWN CAN MOO, CAN YOU? has always been one of the best Dr. Seuss books to read aloud. It's composed almost entirely of strange and wacky sounds. But realistically, some of them were tough to figure out how to turn into real-life vocalizations. How do you make "dibble dibble dop" sound like rain or "splatt" sound like lightning? Well, now you can finally hear how it's done. What's really great is that the narrator both reads the "sound words" phonetically and performs them as real sound-alike noises. It's a hoot. Literally.
