Dr. Seuss - Green Eggs & Ham/Grinch Night VHS

It replaced an old favorite.

Fast shipping. I received what I expected. The tape has short stories on it. Not like the negative reviews speak of.

Absolutely terrible. There is no animations. The characters are portrayed almost as book pages on film. The voice is a monotone with no inflections or animation. Overall a very poor value and not to be confused with any optimal Dr. Seuss videos. BUYER BEWARE.

Unhappy. That's how I feel about this video. I read to my children when they couldn't read. I didn't need a video to do it for me. I thought I was getting the cartoon that I've enjoyed watching for many years. I'll certainly learn to read all reviews of videos before I buy from now on.

This video (UK format) is not a cartoon in the true sense. And they have adverts in the middle about other Random House Seuss books which makes the kids think that the video has actually finished.

Before deciding to purchase this video I had read a review, in Japanese, about other videos in this series not being very good because they were not fully animated. True they are not, but the excellent narration and lovable illustrations more than make up for the animation shortcomings. My children are being brought up in a bilingual environment so they have the advantage of knowing a lot of the English to start out with. Even though, I think the videos in this series would work well as ESL study aids or ESL teaching material if the vocabulary is taught through flashcards and/or the actual book. My son likes to watch the video and then have me read him the book before he goes to bed. Having the book has been really helpful in reinforcing word recognition.
