5.0 out of 5 stars I'm in the car more than I'd like with my kids (1
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2016
I'm in the car more than I'd like with my kids (1.5 and 4) and this is really fun for them to listen to! We own quite a few audio-books (Frog and Toad, Kevin Henkes, Barefoot Books), and this, along with Frog and Toad, is their favorite. The narration here is great. It's so fun for me to hear familiar voices (Kelsey Grammar reading Cat in the Hat, for example). Each narrator really captures the rhythm of Seuss's rhymes. My boys love The Grinch Who Stole Christmas most of all! I have not found the background music too loud at all...actually my kids really like that part and I think it really adds to the appeal of this recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars These are seriously great stories read aloud beautifully

These are seriously great stories read aloud beautifully. I listen to a lot of audio books, and this is one of the best children's audio sets I've ever heard. The stories are read aloud by great actors/story tellers. It's very entertaining for adults, too. Many of the stories are new to me, and very good. They open up a lot of questions for 4 year olds and their parents; more things to talk about in the car!

Play this while my kids play with their blocks, ages 1 and 2. We have read a few of these books, so they are familiar with a few of the stories and they love listening! Especially to The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

My daughter loves these stories. It was worth every penny. The narration is fun and she falls asleep to it almost every night.

Perfect for a long road trip! I brought along a couple of the Dr Suess books & my daughter followed along in the car. These stories are lively. I have some other audio CDs that are more sleepy. These are great for staying awake

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite boring narrations, random music support - could be better
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2016
We love Dr. Seuss and we wanted this CD, and I was really excite to see John Lithgow as a narrator because he is my favorite actor and performer.

PROS
- John Lithgow did an amazing job
- Some famous stories

CONS
- Other narrators were not really exciting. I can actually do a much more articulated and attention catching job that will pin toddlers and kids to their chairs
- Two CDs with zero track information on them. Where is Lorax? Which CD has Cat? No idea.
- Music kind of ridiculous, going on an off randomly and not supporting the story. NPR's Snap Judgement does a much better job doing radio pieces, you can literally visualize rooms, scenes and other details by just listening to their sound support, and they aim for adult listeners. I definitely expected that from a kiddo CD.

I will test it on my kid and update my review. Right now I'm guessing that she'll lose interest soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stories!
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2008
Really Great Stories! My kids loved them. Gertrude McFuzz is fabulous and John Lithgow was superb as the reader. In fact all of the cast were excellent in their roles.

The Big Brag, Thidwick, How Lucky You Are are easily perpetual favorites. We played these over and over.

A not to be missed collection for young listeners.... ages 1 to 100!

5.0 out of 5 stars My child loves this!
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2011
My 3 year old has so many Dr. Seuss books, and this complements them nicely! We can read along, or he can just listen. He absolutely loves this CD, especially when he is lying down to sleep. Very happy I bought it, so I got the "Green Eggs and Ham" and other stories too!
