Dr. Seuss Presents Green Eggs & Ham, Yertle The Turtle & Other Stories

Amazon.com The star of this collection is narrator Marvin Miller, who gives an unparalleled recitation of Green Eggs and Ham (and who makes Cat in the Hat/If I Ran the Zoo and Fox in Socks/Horton Hatches the Egg come alive on separate CDs). Taking a colleague up on a bet, Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) wrote and published this tale–arguably his best known–in 1960 with the constraint of using a mere 50 words. And what an amazing 50 words they are! Strung together with utile charm, energy, and pleasantly tripping repetition, Green Eggs and Ham stands up as one of Seuss’s masterworks. Also included on the CD are rhyming parables of greed, honesty, and making amends in the dramatizations of Yertle the Turtle, The Big Brag, and, finally, Bartholomew and the Oobleck, starring the young hero who many will recognize from the better known Bartholomew Cubbins and the 500 Hats. This disc, along with its companion reissues, is a wang dang doodle of linguistic and auditory fun! –Paige La Grone Product Description A wonderful collection that spotlights the good doctor’s magical way with words and music.
