 Fun Biopic on Dr. Seuss September 3, 2009
M. N. Devlin (Philadelphia, PA USA)
I remember seeing this TV special air once or twice as a kid. I remembered the uniquely whimsical approach to this biography of Dr. Seuss and his creations. My favorite segment is the sung/rapped retelling of "Yertle the Turtle". This is a fun film for Dr. Seuss fans young and old.
 Really great... January 30, 2009

This is really a great little film. It's maybe not as in depth as I was hoping, but it is still awesome. I gave it to my father as a B-day present and he just loves it.
And the bonus short from the 40's is killer!
I had to find this DVD! April 6, 2008
Kid at Heart (Metro DC, USA)
I bought this product years ago in the late 1990's for my son. His school's librarian celebrated Dr. Seuss Day, so I gave my VHS tape to her so the kids could enjoy it. Recently, I was thinking about it and purposed to find it again to buy. I was so pleased to find it on DVD, even though I would have bought a VHS to play it on. I simply love this DVD! I am forty-five years old, but true Seuss fans understand that his work appeals to kids of every age. I grew up on Dr. Seuss!!
Goofy, but Informative April 6, 2007
D. Fest (New Jersey)
This was a cute biographical documentary about the life of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. It was a bit campy at times, but I knew more about the author than I had before after watching the video. I wasn't able to find much in the way of video resources about Dr. Seuss. This was the best, by far, that I've found up to this point.
Excellent Bio for the Family January 3, 2006

This originally aired on a cable channel, and my then 7 year old and I watched it and were enchanted. Today, it is still one of our favs (which is why I am getting the dvd--our video broke).
This contains excellent information on Dr. Seuss' life, including his childhood, and his work during WWII. My daughter (no in her teens) was so hooked that last year she did her biography research paper in history class on Dr. Suess. her classmates were astounded to learn about the man behind "The Cat in the Hat".
I have used this while babysitting kids (@age 7-10) and they loved it. Little kids probably couldn't follow it, or understand the historical portions.
While it may not be a perfect video for the preschool set, it is interesting, informative, and provides a facinating look at America's fav author for children. Here is a true hero for us all--someone who wanted to inspire children to reach for the stars, to learn more. Unlike so many of the"heros" that our kids have on thier bedroom walls (sports figures, musicians, actors), Dr. Seuss truly can be an inspiration for us all.
