The Cat in the Hat and Others by Dr. Seuss

What made the experience of listening to The Cat in the Hat and Other Dr. Seuss Favorites the most enjoyable?

The fact that I can cuddle in bed with my little one and listen to, not read, some of my favorite Dr. Seuss books is an awesome way to end our night.

What did you like best about this story?

There wasn't just one particular thing that I enjoyed best, I would honestly have to say that all the stories as a whole were pretty amazing (although my daughter would probably say its the sounds in the background along with the music).

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Listening to the various narrators brought not only their individual voices (which are extremely different from my own), but it gave my daughter a chance to experience the stories through someone else's viewpoint.

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

The absolute best thing about these stories is the fact that my daughter enjoys them so much, that she actually asks to listen to them everynight before falling asleep.

My son loves the stories

My son is younger and really enjoys the stories and voices. Some are better than others but he enjoys them all.

A Classic Favorite..Even Better

If you could sum up The Cat in the Hat and Other Dr. Seuss Favorites in three words, what would they be?

I didn't think Dr. Suess could be made better, this audio did just that!

Who was your favorite character and why?

This was a compilation of favorite stories, so there was something for everyone. Each story was read by a different celebrity. Dustin Hoffman reads Horton Hears a Who, etc.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

I can't choose, I really can't. Although, How the Grinch Stole XMas is my favorite story, of all time!!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, dole it out slowly. Listen to a couple of stories at a time, and enjoy.

Any additional comments?

Nope.
