 Great for new readers Feb 08, 2010
One of my son's favorite Dr. Seuss stories come to life! Great to follow along with book, teaches inflection when reading. A good alone-time activity that's better than just sitting in front of TV when mom has other things to do!
Works for car rides with small children. Interesting rhythm and sounds. Jan 12, 2010
This set of Dr. Seuss stories is helpful for shorter car rides. The music and rhythm on the first story, Green Eggs and Ham, is interesting, and our 3-year-old likes it. However, it does tend to remind one of a "rave," as another reviewer says, so I will refrain from giving another "rave review."
The other stories are also helpful--and it has struck me more by listening to them than by actually reading them to children that Dr. Seuss tried to have a moral to his stories.
It actually helps me to appreciate Seuss more to listen to his stories and not to have to see his illustrations, as I cannot get away from the deeply "Freudian" faces of his characters (they all have noses and chins that, well, remind the viewer of other things).
All that being said, however, and despite the morality he attempts, I have yet to see a person of color in a Seuss book. Except for the one in Mulberry Street--but he is just there because he "eats with sticks."

 a bizarre but entertaining disc Jul 26, 2001
If you have ever seen the movie "So I Married an Axe Murderer" with the scenes of Mike Myers reciting poetry, then you will have a pretty good idea of the kind of reading Marvin Miller gives to "Green Eggs and Ham" here.I bought this disc (along with "The Cat in the Hat Songbook") as humorous Christmas present for my wife; we are both Seuss fans. While we enjoyed the songbook, which concludes with a reading of one of our all-time favorites: "The Sleep Book," this disc...and the reading of "Green Eggs and Ham" in particular, takes some getting used to. We have come to enjoy the disc. The rest of the pieces are read pretty straightforwardly. "The Rabbit, the Bear and the Zinniga-Zanniga" is probably the best reading on the disc. It is typically Seussian in that it is both funny and instructive. I recommend this disc on its sheer potential to be a conversation piece with those friends who won't think you're insane for listening to a beatnik reading of Dr. Seuss.

Not just for children Jan 02, 2000
Well, the three year old I know, get's right into this but as an adult, I heard Green Eggs and Ham at the ambient zone of an outdoor rave (The Gathering - Takaka, New Zealand). Great sounds and rhythm and all the amazing word games you remember.
