Seuss Celebration (Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, etc.)

Growing up with a television in our lives has brought a new kind of teaching into the world, where we learn from what we watch and sometimes use it in the real world. Most of us have seen the Dr. Seuss special that have been on TV, and even some of us have even read the books that these specials were based on. Now some of the most popular classics of this series have become available on DVD and if we're lucky enough maybe our younger generation will learn some of those lessons and take them to heart.
There are nine classics in this set and every one of them is playful and fun with some serious issues but done in a way that will leave any child tapping their feet and singing along with the characters. Some of these classics will sound familiar and some not so much, but all of the have a message that helps us grow as people and citizens of the world community. Here we have classic specials like: The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, The Lorax, and then there are some that may not sound as familiar: Pontofell Pock and his Magic Piano, The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat, and others. All of them are very entertaining and in today's society make so much sense that having young children watch them they'll learn about endangered animals, the environment, sharing with others, and so on. The animation is dated but and in some cases look their age but the stories are what matters and truthfully, if the stories are good the kids don't really care about the animation.
I remember watching these specials on TV when I was growing up and was happy to sit down with my niece and watch them all over again. She had never seen any of them before but once the stories began she was trying to sing along with them and dancing to the music. I'm happy to be able to pass this on to another generation, and hopefully she'll grow to love them as much as her mother and I did. So if you have children in the house, or if you nieces and nephews, try exposing them to this series of stories. They may surprise you and want to go further and read the books, just remember that imagination is the key to expanding the growing mind of a child.
