Great sound effects. And a great intro to "thunder". When it started storming, we used a line from this book and it calmed our little one down. (Sep 25, 2013)

This is a great book! My 2 year old loves it! I'm a big fan of the small board books in general because they're durable. My kid likes to try and read along and sound out the words. Good stuff! Mar 21, 2023

Read daily! Great sounds get baby talking. Interesting images keep baby’s attention. During a thunderstorm I quoted the book “Boom! Mr. Brown makes thunder” & my twins smiled, no longer scared! Handy! Nov 24, 2021

This is such a fun book to get babies involved in story time. The animal sounds are fun to have them copy and it’s often brought out for story times. Aug 16, 2021

This was my son’s favorite book for quite awhile. He loved trying to repeat all the sound effects within the story. This story has a lot of onomatopoeia, which makes for a very fun interactive read! May 31, 2020

My daughter loves this book. She finds the words to be quite entertaining. And I try to pronounce them in a way that lends to its actual sound. A fun way to learn pronunciation and annunciation. Apr 04, 2019

Loud laughs from my kid's room every time her dad reads her this story. It's silly and fun and perfect for story time. It doesn't make too much sense but it's very fun in that Dr. Seuss sort of way! Jan 16, 2016
