Despite the length of any Dr. Seuss book for a newborn, the rhythmic flow of the words appeals to babies. Both Atticus and Ivy were read a Dr. Seuss book the day they came home from the hospital. Atticus heard Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? He stayed awake for all of it - a commendable act for a three day old infant. This book is great because it contains just a few of the many sounds a newborn infant will hear upon entering the world - a cow's moo, the frying of an egg, and the boom of thunder. It is just fun to read out loud!
