Cartoon of 5 children with Cat in the Hat red and white striped hats. Words, Read Caption Across America, appear above them.

For the DCMP's RCAA events, this special-collection DVD contains the following titles: (1) "The Cat in the Hat," which is about a mischievous singing cat who transforms a dull, rainy afternoon into a magical and just-messy-enough adventure for a brother and sister; (2) "The Hoober-Bloob Highway," which tells the story of Mr. Hoober-Bloob who, assisted by a self-playing instrument, sends babies to Earth; (3) "The Lorax," which is a wild tale about ecology and conservation; (4) "The Sneetches," which explores the often fickle and flexible world of attitudes; (5) "Green Eggs & Ham," which features the insufferable Sam-I-Am and teaches the benefits of trying new things; and (6) "The Zax," a story of the pressure to conform and the inevitability of change.

    Great. Hopefully DCMP can acquire more Dr. Seuss or similar books for Read across America.

    We used this for RCAA / Dr. Seuss's birthday. It's so great to have GOOD captions for hard-to-interpret words as are present in Seuss stories. Thank you for making this available!
