Nine classic Suess stories narrated by nine superbly talented actors, what a marvelous treat—if you don’t make the mistake of listening to them all in a row. Seuss’ stories are meant to be single servings, but for logistical reasons, this probably would not work as well in audio form. Charm is added to Suess’ prose and poetry by music, sound effects, and voice stylistics. However, some actors (ahem, Billy Crystal) in attempts at coming across as charming, over-shoot completely, and are merely annoying. If pressed to choose just one, listen to the signature piece, The Cat and the Hat for Kelsey Grammer’s timing and humour. Perfect to play while crafting or baking, and suitable for the every age.
