Just as great.....

..... as reading the book.

I got this for my young niece to listen to and found I listened more than she did.

Just like Dr. Suess himself the book is great for kids to listen to on car rides.

An old favorite!

Loved it! I have shared this book with my son ( many years ago) and now with my granddaughter. It is timeless and a joy to hear her giggle over rhyming words...say what you will... they don't call them classics for no reason.

The Dr. Seuss classic comes to life.

Jason Alexander provides an entertaining interpretaion of the Dr. Seuss classic in this audio version of Green Eggs and Ham. I asssigned the printed version of the book to my first grade ESL students. After we read and worked with the book in class, I recommended they look for and listen to the audiobook. Both, parents and students, told me how much they loved listening to it. They also said it helped them improve their reading, listening, and speaking skills by reading along and imitating the narrator's pronunciation.

Struggles with a toddler

Loved it but my busy toddler didnt i think it would help to see the pages as well

A great, classic

Still a classic and the narration is great.

My preschooler's absolute FAVORITE audio book!

Our whole family has been delighted by this short little audio book. The music and sound effects are perfect - not too sparse, not over the top - and listening to the narration, you will be convinced there are two different actors reading. We most often listen to children's audio books in the car, so there's something of a captive audience. With some of those books, I feel bad subjecting adults and older children to the rendition. Not this one! Occupants of all ages get a chuckle out of this reading of Green Eggs and Ham. Highly recommended.

Excellent

To begin with I'm a huge Dr. Suess fan!
I loved Walter Matthau as the Grinch.
It is perfect!

Excellent narration!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. My granddaughter (age 3 1/2) absolutely loves this. She laughs so much when she hears the frustration of the character being asked to eat the green eggs and ham against his wishes.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Green Eggs and Ham?

When the one being asked to eat the green eggs and ham finally tastes them and realizes that he really does like them.

What about Jason Alexander’s performance did you like?

Not normally a fan of any of the characters that I've seen Jason Alexander play, I found it quite fansinating how much I enjoyed his narration of this book. He does an absolutely wonderful job, and makes the book a hundred times more interesting than I'm sure any other narrator could.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No, not really.

Any additional comments?

Children are sure to love this book, and ask to hear it again and again.
