Dr. Seuss Scores Again with “Horton Hears a Who”

March has been a banner month for fans of Dr. Seuss and his clever, wildly creative children’s books. Many schools celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday (he was born March 2, 1904, and died in 1991), and then on hortonhearsawho11.jpgMarch 14, the animated movie Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (pictured), starring the voices of Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Carol Burnett, opened, drawing millions of children and their parents into movie theaters. If your child loved the movie, it’s a good time to introduce them to other Seuss volumes. A nice collection from Scholastic is Your Favorite Seuss: A Baker’s Dozen by the One and Only Dr. Seuss, which includes The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Sneetches and more ($34.95). A thoughtful gift for a young relative would be a membership in the Dr. Seuss Scholastic Book Club. Each member receives seven books, a tote bag and a copy of The Cat in the Hat for the introductory fee of $4.99 plus shipping. Each month, two different books are sent; if you choose to keep them, each book is $4.99 plus $3.99 for shipping and handling. Seussville, a web site run by Random House, has click-and-play games with characters from the books, a biography of Dr. Seuss, a catalog of his work and a listing of book-related events. Amazon.com has its own Dr. Seuss Shop, featuring a selection of Seuss titles. For babies, you can’t miss with a board-book copies of Dr. Seuss’ ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book! and Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? ($4.99 each). Other fun Seuss-related items available online are the Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook, by Georgeanne Brennan ($16.95), and a plush red-and-white top hat, like the one worn by the Cat in the Hat. You can wear it when you read bedtime stories to your children, after a dinner of green eggs and ham.
