Absolutely love it

As a children's librarian, I'm an avid reader and so are my kids. We love Dr Seuss and have most of his most well-known stories memorized at this point. I needed something to entertain everyone on a long ride to the beach this summer, so we tried this - it was perfect. Each reader is a wonderful storyteller. We should know this by their individual acting performances, but to hear them read is such a delight! I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Dr Seuss, the actors reading these stories, or excellent storytelling, in general.

For the Cat in the Hat Story Alone - Buy This One!

For me, recommending this book comes down to price. The Cat in the Hat Story alone is worth the price of this book, so if you can find this version for the right price you can't go wrong with this version.

Some of the stories and narration are fantastic, some are blah. The bonus stories are worth a listen, but the Cat in the Hat is the superior listen.

My kids loved this

The 5 & 2 year old loved this. The performances are fantastic, and of course the stories are great. Even without Dr Seuss's illustrations, the stories hold up. Very easy to listen to with these great actors reading, though it would have been nice to have a female narrator in the mix.

I loved the story line and it was a fun book

I liked the male voices but I disliked when there was too strong of an accent it made it hard to enjoy the book

Great for the car

My Daughter loves this in the car - keeps her quiet on long trips and therefore worth every cent.
Some of the stories are very well read by great readers.
Highly recommended
