The Cat in the Hat
My granddaughters were not sure they were going to like this CD.They wanted to listen to it during daylight first.After hearing it with other people around, they decided they liked it and would listen to it at night when they were in bed.It took a bit of convincing, however.

The background music gets a bit too loud
The background music gets a bit loud at times. We got used to it eventually. Otherwise the stories are great and so are the performances. My 8y.o. son can't get enough. What's great, we could follow up with the books. I would highly recommend it for elementary school children.

The Cat in the hat
Kids like to listen to this a lot, we down loaded it to the computer and they love it.

Great idea but background music interferes
My daughter loves Dr. Seuss so I immediately ordered this CD and the Green Eggs & Ham version as well. It's a great idea, but the background music is too loud at various points so it's hard to understand the words while the CD plays. That is our only complaint. I was able to decipher what the reader was saying, but my four-year-old had trouble and lost patience with it after a few minutes. I'm hoping she'll grow to appreciate it as time goes on.

Great Stories!
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!

Product Description
This classic film study revived in a new edition to coincide with Columbia's 20th Anniversary "Classic" DVD launch—the only behind-the-scenes study of the making of the smash comedy. Dustin Hoffman dedicated four years to this comedy in which he plays a man playing a real woman. Sydney Pollack was hot off Absence of Malice when he chose this project, which had lost two earlier directors and was the butt of many Hollywood bad jokes. Why did they do it and how, and who helped them and how? Making Tootsie, originally published in 1983 to outstanding reviews, offers an intimate view into the acting and filmmaking process, as well as some insight into the release of comedy, the pull of relevance, and the force of creative power. 50 b&w photos.

• Tootsie has been named #2 of the 100 Best Comedies of the Twentieth Century by The American Film Institute (#1 was Some Like It Hot).
• Winner of 1983 Academy Award® for Best Supporting Actress by Jessica Lange; nominated for 9 other Academy Awards®, including Best Film. ... Read more

Horton Hears a Who
The book came very quickly and in good shape.I've already added it to my classroom collection.Thanks for the great service!SMKass

I think we all know by now "A person's a person, no matter how small!"

Horton, the hero, runs around trying to save the little whos while everybody else, of course, derides him and even tries to harm the clover for no reason other than that they don't understand.

There is a happy ending, and most children old enough to sit through it will enjoy it. As an adult, though, one thing keeps running through my mind, and that's the fact that the whos were in no danger at all UNTIL Horton decided to "save" them! I keep this thought to myself when reading to the nieces, though. I'm not sure they'd appreciate it :)

One of the all-time great children's books
Horton Hears a Who is one of the best children's books ever written. It has everything - entertaining, fun writing, a memorable main character, good illustrations, and a good message. A few people have said that this story has an anti-abortion theme. I admit that this thought also came to my mind; however, I think this is irrelevant regardless of your views on this issue. Children surely will have no concept of this. They'll simply understand that Horton trusted his own mind and stood up for the "little" people despite the obstacles and nay-sayers in his path. What a wonderful message for kids!

Horton Hears A Who by Dr. Seuss
I needed the book fairly quickly and received it in a timely manner. I had no problems searching or ordering the book. I teach preschool and I am able to find books and other resources on Amazon. The fact that there is no shipping and handling makes it more appealing to me as I don't always have the extra funds. I recommend using Amazon for your on-line shopping.
