This is a collection of books by Dr. Seuss narrated by Kelsey Grammer, Dustin Hoffman, Walter Matthau, John Cleese, Ted Danson, John Lithgow, Mercedes McCambridge, and Billy Crystal. It also comes with a short excerpt of Green Eggs and Ham by Jim Dale, narrator of the U.S. audiobooks of Harry Potter. They were all excellent narrators, who employed different voices for the various characters. There were background music and sound effects that sounded appropriate to the moment and made it m...more

Kelsey Grammer narrates this book and it's fabulous! When I read this book out loud to A it just seems like it takes forever to get through but Grammer reads it with enthusiasm and it rolls right off the tongue and A isn't even ready to turn the page yet. (During my readings she's turning the page before I'm halfway through). There is a part in the story that makes me laugh everytime during this recording which is fabulous to find a book for both my 2yr old and me to listen to over and over and...more
Picture Book 12: This book is my all time favorite dr.seuss books. I love this book because it is a classic and the most well known book that dr. seuss has made. It was my first dr.seuss book I ever read when I was little and this is the book that got me hooked on all of his books! I would recommend this book to anyone who hasn't read it, which cannot be that many people because it is such a classic. I hope children today appreciate all this book has to offer and I hope it gets children into dr....more

The only book I didn't like of Dr. Seuss was Cat in the Hat, because the Cat gets the kids to let him in and dis=obey their Mom's rules. It reminds me of the Wizard of OZ, which I didn't like it in Black and White. I only like the part where the witch is melting. The Fish who is the conscience and the water are my heroes, be aware that there are some kids that will feel like me. I was a FISH out of Water and very Obedient and both gave me anxiety! JILL
A classic, however I do prefer some of his others more such as 'Green Eggs and Ham' and 'All the Things You Can Think.'
I suppose it the 'fish' in me that makes the cat's behaviour get me all upset and antsy. See, the cat comes in and breaks rules and disturbs the house when the mom is away and the kids are home alone. The fish is the one saying they should do this and they shouldn't do that. Even as a kid, I think I would have sided with the fish. ;)

This is a fun story about a little boy and girl who are left at home while their mother decides to go out. It's wet and rainy outside and the kids are bored. Then they catch the attention of a cat who wants to play with them, but not only that he wants to bring Thing One and Thing Two with him. As they play, they create a disaster of a mess inside! Moral of the story, don't leave your kids at home!
Cat in the Hat is a fun frillick with an antsy cat in a ridiculous hat. The rhyme and meter is uniquely Zeuss, and plays with language like a cat plays with a ball of string. Kids are hooked and adults keep reading it for pure fun. Top hats off to dear Dr Zeuss.

Fantastic book for kids! So imaginative and creative. Easy read that children will find delightful!
Dr. Seuss is always brilliant! His stories and rhymes are fun and entertaining! Some of my all time favorites!! Such a great way to entertain children and get them interested in reading!

This is a wonderful collection of some of the best Dr Seuss stories. My daughter really loves the rhyming, she loves to have the stories read to her before bedtime and loves to read through on her own. She also really enjoys the illustrations. Great book, every family should have a copy.
The Cat in the Hat is easily one of the most beloved children's books of all time. It's very likely that all the students in your classroom with be familiar with this story which makes it such a great teaching tool. It's a wonderful book for teaching poetry. There are so many lesson plans that go along with this book to teach children reading, writing, and a variety of other subjects.
even thought i am gonna be 13, i still love this book. its a classic.i still read this book because i have it. i love the cat in the har so much that i even have the movie! i first read this book in kinder garden. even my mom loves it.
The Cat in the Hat is a wonderful book and I think all children should read it. Everything by Dr. Seuss is so fantastic and creative. And I think it will open the minds of children or anyone really to explore their own creativity.
We got this CD set from the library and listened to it in the car many times. Excellent readers, fun stories, and nice sound effects. For any age, though I had to explain some stories to Noah (age 3.5) so I'd say 3 and up.
Fantastic recording! Kelsey Grammer and John Lithgow are the highlights. Surprising letdown was Dustin Hoffman reading Horton Hears a Who. His cadence was off so much it's hard to listen.
This was a very enjoyable book as a child - the rhyming words and the sing song written voice added to the enjoyment of the story line. Excellent for encouraging new and emerging readers.
I loved Dr. Seuss as a child and am now rediscovering that joy as I read these stories to my own child.
Best.Thing.Ever! Am listening to this in my car and feeling like a 4 year old all over again.
Anthing by Dr. Seuss is great to use in the classroom. What a genius man he was!
This was a book that always made me want to reach through the pages and literally strangle the Cat in the Hat. Dr. Seuss gave us a great little story about all the trouble two children with nothing to do can get into. "Idle hands are the devil's tool," is truer than many people might think.
This book is a must have in every family library. It's fun and teaches a great lesson.
Purchase The Cat in the Hat.

My son loves to listen to stories, and this is one is a real winner for him.
TOTALLY A CLASSIC!!! Dr. Seuss has always been one of my favorites!!!
My Son loves it so much I have to read it over and over again.
Just a big collection of almost everything he wrote.

At Oxford he met Helen Palmer, who he wed in 1927.
