Macy THE GREAT HENRY McBRIDE, narrated by Peter Dinklage Seuss scholar/collector Charles D. Cohen has hunted down seven rarely seen stories by Dr. Seuss. Originally published in magazines between 1950 and 1951, they include "The Bear, the Rabbit, and the Zinniga-Zanniga " (about a rabbit who is saved from a bear with a single eyelash!); "Gustav the Goldfish" (an early, rhymed version of the Beginner Book A Fish Out of Water); "Tadd and Todd" (a tale passed down via photocopy to generations of twins); "Steak for Supper" (about fantastic creatures who follow a boy home in anticipation of a steak dinner); "The Bippolo Seed" (in which a scheming feline leads an innocent duck to make a bad decision); "The Strange Shirt Spot" (the inspiration for the bathtub-ring scene in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back); and "The Great Henry McBride" (about a boy whose far-flung career fantasies are only bested by those of the real Dr. Seuss himself). In an introduction to the collection, Cohen explains the significance these seven stories have, not only as lost treasures, but as transitional stories in Dr. Seuss's career. With a color palette that has been enhanced beyond the limitations of the original magazines in which they appeared, this is a collection of stories that no Seuss fan (whether scholar or second-grader) will want to miss!. A cast of celebrities adds variety and flair to this collection of seven Dr. Seuss stories published in book form for the first time. Peter Dinklage and Jason Lee go for straightforward readings that emphasize Seuss's trademark rhythm and rhyme in "The Great Henry McBride" and "Gustav, the Goldfish." Neil Patrick Harris elevates the text with his buoyant and expressive reading of "The Bippolo Seed," as does Joan Cusack with her reading of "Tadd and Tod." Anjelica Huston is a highlight, bringing nuance, distinct voices, and urgency to her performance of "The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga-Zanniga." Each story is a flight of imagination grounded by real emotion and engrossing narration--making this a production worthy of repeat listening. A.F. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine.
