The individual books are bookmarked

Contrary to what a previous reviewer said, the individual books all have chapter markers so you can jump directly to a particular book if you know the chapter number.

Great for the Road

We downloaded this for a Thanksgiving week 1600 mile road trip with a four and two year old. I thought they wouldn't enjoy the stories without the pictures in front of them, but they couldn't get enough. Definitely helped to fill the time, and entertained the adults enough, too.

No, it's not a substitute for the books with pictures, but definitely worth it for travel. Also a good value for the number of books on this program.

What is it with the music???????

Why spoil great reading and a wonderful book with loud silly music throughout? Someone has been watching too much bad video. Dr. Seuss did not write this with background music.

Good, but.....

The source material is unquestionably good; the readings are *mostly* very good; the music is intrusive, superfluous, and frankly, grating. Dustin Hoffman is the best of the bunch, showing incredible class and demonstrating that he is an Actor (capital A) even when reading "Horton Hears a Who". Not bad for a car trip, but you'll miss the pictures.

Finding the Book

It goes without saying the books are great but I don't care for the format. My son is four and knows which book he wants to hear. This format does not allow you to skip to a specific book.

Awesome

My four year old listens to this in the car, at bedtime, and just for a rest. Love the different voices!

Your kids will love it!

I bought this audiobook for a car trip to disney, but ended up using it daily. There are enough stories to keep them interested and the length is perfect for the longer errands around town.

Ageless!

I bought this (these) book(s) for ME! Used to read them to my children when they were younger than my grandchildren are now. Dr. Seuss is the Man! Good listening for all ages. You can't grow up until you understand all the messages he presents to be a better human being. I still listen...what fun is growing up anyway?!

Ruined by horrible background music

While the performances by the readers here are great, the incidental background music which sounds like it's all produced by a cheap and nasty 80's synthesiser ruined almost every story. The Lorax was rendered quite unlistenable. Such a shame!
