I'm not a great fan of Adrian Edmondson (Young Ones, Bottom, etc) but he is *brilliant* on this CD, a perfect choice as narrator. It's about the only kids CD I can bear to listen to more than once as it's really entertaining for adults as well. He reads in such a fun way and the sound effects are good too - they don't go on all the time, but add to the humour and the story where appropriate and there are some weird and wonderful noises! The reading is also very clear which is important for young children who aren't as familiar with the vocabulary as adults. I didn't really understand the appeal of Dr Seuss and couldn't make sense of some bits until I heard this, but now I am a fan.
It's great value for money too. Lots of kids CDs seem to only have one very short story and pad it out with different versions or a song or two, but this one is about 45 minutes of proper storytelling with both Cat in the Hat stories, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks, all read really well.
Highly recommended for any child who likes Dr Seuss. I think it would also be great for a reluctant reader - might tempt them to take a look at the books.

This is probably not how you imagined 'The Cat in the Hat' should sound. It's almost certainly not how you read it to yourself as a child or out loud to your own children.
For one thing, you get background music, somewhat reminiscent of those 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Plus noisy sound effects. Plus Adrian Edmondson acting midway between his Vyvyan persona and a vaguely responsible adult.
This is not bedtime listening! It's far too exciting to expect the kids to go to sleep quickly afterwards. It's better as the key ingredient for relieving a tedious car journey.
By the way, the other stories include:
'The Cat in the Hat Comes Back'
'Green Eggs and Ham'
'Fox in Socks'
but sadly not Seuss's masterpiece, 'One Fish, Two Fish'.

Dr Seuss stories come alive when they are read aloud. The four stories on offer here are four of my childrens favourites (and if truth be told my own as well). Adrien Edmondson does not have a reputation for reading childrens books, I remember him from "The Young Ones" and Bottom, but he does a pretty good job of delivering these.
The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back allow Edmondson to deliver his lines which the manic style that most listeners will instantly know is his (at least their parents will). Whilst on Fox in Socks and Green Eggs and Ham he manages a simple vocal style that children will warm to.
There are pleanty of musical interludes and sound effects as part of this production and my children love it.
It's an ideal CD to stick on in the car and I enjoy it as much as my kids do. I'm giving it 8/10!

Brilliant audio book
Our 7 year old and 4 year old boys really enjoy listening to this audio book before bed. Great narration from Ade Edmonson.

Soooo very annoying
I found this audio tape so annoying due to an over the top voice of the narrator that my daughter agreed for me to put it into a petrol station bin after 5 minutes of listening to... Read more

Cat in the Hat CD
I was asked to provide something for the grandsons (7 and 5) to listen to in the car. This has proved to be invaluable apparently!
