Buy Now	Home And Away (more) »rank: 200323 by: Kevin Kling	Buy Now	Dr. Seuss Presents: Fox in Sox (more) »rank: 189246 by: Dr. Seuss : :Nearly a decade after his death, the stories of Pulitzer Prize-winning Theodor Geisel (better known as Dr. Seuss) still reign supreme in hilarity and genius with both adults and children, many of the former retaining fond memories of Seuss I Can Read books and television specials from their own childhood.

Marvin Miller, whose voice rates on the comfort and familiarity meter with that of Pooh, newscaster Walter Cronkite, and oatmeal salesman Wilford Brimley, is as splendid a yarn spinner as there ...

Buy Now	Dr. Seuss Presents: Green Eggs & Ham (more) »rank: 196515 by: Dr. Seuss : :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 ...
Buy Now	More Irish Folk Tales for Children (more) »rank: 33368 by: Sharon Kennedy : :Half a decade after she released the beguiling Irish Folk Tales for Children, Sharon Kennedy returns with another winning album of Irish tales for kids, even though adults will find these folk tales just as entrancing and entertaining. In one example of the rich and magical world Kennedy serves up in four stories (totaling more than an hour of storytelling with one brief Irish musical interlude), pigs can't stop dancing ('Annie O'Reilly and the Magic Dancing Pig'). Of course, underlying this 16-minute fable is a sly critique, as the king of England wants this prized pig as his own and is wont to ...
