Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My toddler loves this video!
Review: My toddler asks to watch this video almost every day! He loves it and always brings me his "Mr. Brown can MOO" book to read after watching it! (He's also learning lots of great phonics!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Seuss's ABC is my favorite!
Review: My toddler can't get enough of Dr. Seuss's ABC book. The video does a great job of reinforcing what the book is teaching. Not only does my baby hear the book being read in a whole new voice, but the words & letters appear on the screen in sync w/the narration.
The other 2 stories on the video aren't done as well in that the text never appears on screen.
But it was worth purchasing for the ABC story alone. Just consider the other stories as bonus "cartoons." The verses are still Dr. Seuss after all!

Summary: Mangleing the good doctor
Review: Not at all a good version of Dr Seuss's beloved classics... while I've seen the "point the camera at the book" type of production done well, this isn't it. The story is read in a long, dragging tone obviously meant to drag out a very short story. The producers also decided they were talented enough to re-write parts of the book, and fail miserably. While your kids may still enjoy this, for anyone who truely loves the pacing and colorful wording of a Dr Seuss story, you're much better off getting a copy of the book and reading it to your kids, than watching this pitiful production

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: highly recommended
Review: this is a wonderful introduction to the alphabet and different sounds of words. dr. seuss's rhymes are so enjoyable and entertaining--as well as witty and smart. my son always giggles at the word combinations and the funny rhymes. highly recommended!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: You may as well read your child a book
Review: This video is the worst I have ever purchased. My 2-yr old sondoes not even enjoy it. It is basically just pictures from classicDr. Suess books with an occasional unrealistic animation. The reader's voice is dull. You can read these books to your child and it will be much better! We love Dr. Suess, so we were very disappointed with the low quality of this video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful video for teaching beginning reading/phonics!
Review: This video is wonderful for teaching beginning phonics, and lots of fun as well! Also great are: So Smart: All About Letters (great for teaching letter sounds, names of the letters can come after sounds are learned), So Smart: All About Shapes (great for concepts and sight words). Once letter sounds are learned and your child is recognizing words, Hop on Pop (Dr. Suess) is also wonderful! (Yes, I'm a teacher!) The "Your Baby Can Read" video is also good for toddlers/preschoolers when part of a broader program teaching phonics. Enjoy!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too much gobbly-goop thrown at you in one video
Review: This video just had too much nonsensical rhyming stuff over and over and over. My twins tuned it right out. I myself couldn't take it after just 5 minutes so how can I expect my babies to? After a while all the made-up words and names start to reallly bug you. Maybe in book format it's not so bad but this was just overkill . . .

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A big disappointment
Review: This video was not animated like the classic Chuck Jones features such as "The Cat In The Hat" and "The Grinch". My daughter was rather disappointed to see the camera scanning over pages of the books she already owns along with paper cutouts of the characters floating around as a cheap replacement for animation. We give this video a thumbs down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My 2 year old loves it!
Review: Very fun to read and listen to (cassette tape.) END
