About the Author
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss's first children's book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world.

Excellent!,
By Daisyanne (On, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cat in the Hat and Other Dr. Seuss Favorites (Audio CD)
My 3 year old loves dr seuss books, so we bought this set for his third xmas in hopes of some 'quiet time'. Works like a charm. Now he is 4 and we continue to put on these stories, in the car, in his room, and he listens attentively. He never tires of them!

Absolutely Wonderful Readings!,
By homeschooler (Indianapolis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cat in the Hat and Other Dr. Seuss Favorites (Audio CD)
As a homeschooling Mom of 2 small girls, we do A LOT of reading together. What a treat to have someone else do the reading for me every once in a while! Kelsey Grammer, John Lithgow, Walter Matthau, Ted Danson, Billy Crystal and other famous voices certainly do an OUTSTANDING job! The stories are unabridged, which makes it easy to follow along with your own Dr Seuss library. Between the talented author and the unquestionably talented actors, you just can't go wrong...what a great gift to any child or Dr. Seuss fan of any age! My daughters love this CD, and are always asking for one more story or the other disc. SO...we purchased the Green Eggs and Ham CD set today, and are very eager to see how it compares to this fun compilation!

Great Books, Technical Aspects Need a Little Work,
By JoshDH - Published on Amazon.com
As others have said, these are great books, and my toddler loves them. I give the product a 3 star review for two reasons though:1. There are times when the background music is too loud (as another reviewer said). With an audiobook, especially in the car, it is critically important to have the voice dominant enough to be heard clearly throughout, and that is occasionally not true here. 2. The books aren't separated or clearly delineated. If you bought the CD, you'd get each book as a separate track -- as things should be -- allowing you to find the start of a book and skip between books quickly. If you buy the Audible version, however, you're going to have to figure out that the Grinch begins at 25 minutes, 14 seconds and ends at 37 minutes, 28 seconds, etc. And you'll have to cope with the fact that there's absolutely no buffer between the books. I have just figured all these out and am using audio software to split the file up, but there's no reason I should have to do this. I can't edit the product for the rest of you, but here are the times: The Cat in the Hat - 0:00:33 - 0:08:34 Horton Hears a Who - 0:08:35 - 0:25:13 The Grinch... - 0:25:14 - 0:37:28 Did I Ever Tell You... - 0:37:29 - 0:45:59 The Lorax - 0:46:00 - 1:01:10 Yertle... - 1:01:11 - 1:23:39 Thidwick... - 1:23:40 - 1:35:00 Horton Catches the Egg - 1:35:01 - 1:46:06 The Cat in the Hat Comes Back - 1:46:07 - 1:55:11 In sum, a great product marred a bit by technical issues. Buy the CD & rip it is the easiest way to cope, but if you buy this, I hope the above saves you some frustration. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Wonderful for Early Readers,
By A. Gates - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Cat in the Hat and Other Dr. Seuss Favorites (Audio Cassette)
My son listens to these over and over with or without the book. He enjoys the narrators and has almost memorized the books.
