Great Seuss collection 
2008-07-14
This is my 3 y.o.'s favorite book, he calls it "the big book" and almost every night he asks for it when it's time for story-telling, even though he has a big collection of books which he loves, including many Seuss books, none can top this one.
This is a great book, it allows you to have lots of Seuss stories all gathered up even if you don't have a lot of space in your house, and it's great for traveling because you can take so many stories with you in one single volume. Plus, they have kept all the illustrations, even though sometimes they may crowd up two into one page because of the length of the volume. Still, it's a great buy, I highly recommend it. In my opinion there's no higher recommendation that the love my son has for this book. :-)
Your Favorite Dr. Seuss 
2008-07-10
We all love Dr. Suess and I thought this would be a great deal to get 13 stories to read to my 1 and 3 year olds for bedtime stories. The problem is that the book is too big to cuddle up with on the couch with two little ones. We returned it and bought a few of the smaller, 1 story, Dr. Suess classics.
Great for the price! 2008-07-03
I honestly have no problems with this book...its great!!! Its great to have Dr. Seuss back in my life now at 27...
Changes in page layouts are disappointing. 2008-06-05
Since this is a dozen stories, it's expected this is going to be a big book. The facts and info on each story are quite interesting and really the major selling point for this book.
The major disappointment was the change in page layout. If you compare it to the single books, the pages are just laid out differently. In a couple stories, there's a focal point in the story that is buried in the crease because the of the page changes. If they hadn't dont that, this would be an awesome book. The facts and info they include with the book make it worth keeping on my bookshelf, but I read from different compilations.
Six by Seuss and A Hatful of Suess are two collections of multiple stories in a single book that preserve the original page layout. Both are available here on Amazon. Six by Seuss: A Treasury of Dr. Seuss Classics A Hatful of Seuss: Five Favorite Dr. Seuss Stories
Perfect Gift -Seuss Baker's Dozen 2008-06-02
I had a hard time giving this up as a gift. I paged thru it and remembered all the funny stories i read growing up as a kid. And there were a few that I had never seen before. When the gift was opened at the party, everyone smilled and thought out of all the toys the child received, this was the best. I agree! Also...this was way cheaper than the local bookstores. Cheaper and in perfect condition (no previously browsed book ever received by AMAZON.COM).

Very pleased 2008-05-19
I thought this was a collection of individual books, not just one big book. But i still find it worth the buy since it comes with all of my favorites.
Your Favorite Seuss 2008-04-25
This is a great collection of Dr. Seuss stories. Seller was very fast in fulfilling my order.
Great book 2008-04-18
My daughter loves this book. Its great to have the Suess books in one binding rather than 13 separate books.
Not especially practical size wise but a great book. 
2008-03-29
This review comes really from the perspective of an adult wannabe-illustrator/child author. I never had Dr Suess as a child and only recently got interested in his work after seeing an exhibition of his 'secret' art.
Even though this book hosts many of Dr Suess' classic stories and it is a great product I'd suggest that this book isn't especially practical for children/parents reading for children, it's really too big and bulky. You'd be better off buying the smaller versions.
But that's just the practical side of it. As for the content well it's great. He had such a unique style of writing and especially drawing. Complete with essays on each story and a run down of his life it's well worth a purchase if interested.
