This book and tape combination is superb. I bought it for my four your old (being a lifelong fan of Mr Mayall myself) who loves Dr Seuss and have taught him how to turn a cassette over for himself so that he now listens to it over and over again! He even 'read' us the entire book from cover to cover yesterday, including the additional sound effects provided by Rik! How wonderful to get a child into books, with such enthusiasm, and reward his interest with the ability to recite the whole thing independently! Watch out for V and the cracking accent for the letter Zee (that's Zed, we are reliably informed by RiK, and my son!) wonderful!!
