  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.

  Michael Beck

  A great little audiobook with some of Dr. Seuss’ best books. The actors who read were famous in the 90s and did an excellent job reading these books.

  Classic Dr. Seuss stories with a stellar cast to narrate it? How could you even say no? I felt like a kid again as he rhymed his way to teaching us valuable life lessons! From The Cat in the Hat to Hotorn Hatches the Egg, there isn't a dull moment through this audiobook.

  Like Mr. Brown, I think this Dr. Seuss book would also be great for building skills in phonics. It reminds me of activities we have talked about in class where children can explore how adding a new letter to "at" can change the sound and make a new word.

  Classic. I laughed. I cried. Maybe I even farted.
  
  Who knows—I was only six when I first read this book.

  An exceptional read.

  Having read this 25 times this autumn I am including it in my reading log despite it not filling my 100 page requirement (though it does, the 61 is complete fiction)

  It's a fun book, and features a great collection of Dr. Seuss, I believe it encompasses a good variance of both the stories and the regular books. I expected the audiobook to be more calm, but it's theatrical, so I guess it depends on what the listener is looking for.

  Strong 5 to a Light 6. Tran-sition, did you give this book a listen, did you love it did you hate it, what did you rate it? You're the best, you're the best, what book should I review next?

  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 more fun to listen to. Unfortunately, at certain places, the music and sound effects got a bit too enthusiastic; it overwhelmed the narrator's voice and made it just a little hard to focus on such as in The Cat in the Hat.
  
  I enjoyed all the books, and I thought that the issues that some of these books dealt with were done so in a child-friendly way.
  
  In this collection were:
  
  The Cat in the Hat, narrated by Kelsey Grammer
  The narrator made good use of pauses and pacing. I found the voice for fish a little shrill, though.
  
  Horton Hears A Who, narrated by Dustin Hoffman
  The narrator's voices, for the most part, were fairly good. However, the voice of the baby kangaroo sounded a little strained as the narrator attempted to reach the high pitch of children. The tiny voice on the dust speck sounded as if it was through some sort of vacuum or tunnel, which made it kind of hard to hear. I did understand why the production did it that way, though, and I appreciated it. "A person's a person no matter how small."
  
  How the Grinch Stole Christmas, narrated by Walter Matthau
  The narrator did well for the voice of the Grinch, but the voice of the little girl, Cindy Lou Who, was not so good. I liked the singing at the end.
  
  Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?, narrated by John Cleese
  What I appreciated about this narration was how the narrator tailored his narration with background music. The background music and his narration melded smoothly - like one. The narrator also did a good job narrating the tongue twisting parts.
  
  The Lorax, narrated by Ted Danson
  See
  my review for
  Oh, the Places You'll Go! and The Lorax.
  
  Yertle the Turtle And Other Stories, narrated by John Lithgow
  This narration had pretty good acting. I found the background music particularly appropriate. The narration was quite fun. Wikipedia says that the issue written about here was Hitler and anti-authoritarianism. The message I took away was something along the lines of democracy, not tyranny, and to think of other people's needs.
  
  Gertrude McFuzz, narrated by John Lithgow
  The main character had this weird, faux Southern girl accent but it somehow worked. The narration was fun. The background music was catchy. The message I took away was be happy with yourself.
  
  The Big Brag, narrated by John Lithgow
  The voice of the worm was a bit cringe-worth due to the falsetto the narrator adopted. I liked his brag, though.
  
  Thidwick, the Big-Hearted Moose, narrated by Mercedes McCambridge
  Ha! Lesson: kick out unwelcome guests and don't be a pushover. lol
  The narrator was not too bad but there appeared to be multiple voices, one for each of the animals. When they spoke in a chorus, I could hear multiple voices. The suspense in this book surprised me. Does he live, does he live? Well, you'll see.
  
  Horton Hatches The Egg, narrated by Billy Crystal
  The narrator is different from the narrator for Horton Hears a Who, and while I would have preferred the original narrator, this was not too bad. I thought that the voice of Maisie was a little weird. Once again, a faux Southern voice was adopted. As a male narrator doing a female voice, it was not so bad. The voice of Horton was pretty good but not the same as the Horton in Horton Hears a Who. As I was listening to it, I kind of felt a little disconcerted. However, I did like the acting.
  
  The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, narrated by Kelsey Grammer There wasn't anything special I wanted to note for this book. The narrator was the same one from The Cat in the Hat and the fish wasn't there. So, overall, I found this a fun narration. :)
  
  Green Eggs and Ham, narrated by Jim Dale As I had noted earlier in the review, this was apparently just an excerpt. What I noted from this short excerpt was that the voices the narrator employed were not very distinct from each other.

  This Fantasy book was written and illustrated by the famous author Dr. Seuss! His out of this world books make it fun for students to read! The plot of the story starts out on a rainy with two siblings left alone home. The theme of the book jumps into what happens when you break the rules. I would high recommend this book!
