Description

Nearly a decade after his death, the stories of Pulitzer Prize-winning Theodor Geisel (better known as Dr. Seuss) still reign supreme in hilarity and genius with both adults and children, many of the former retaining fond memories of Seuss I Can Read books and television specials from their own childhood.

Of the three fine discs reissued by Buddha Records in 1999, Fox in Socks and accompanying tales takes the most glorious cake. Marvin Miller, whose voice rates on the comfort and familiarity meter with that of Pooh, newscaster Walter Cronkite, and oatmeal salesman Wilford Brimley, is as splendid a yarn spinner as there ever was. His pliant and strong readings wittily match the brilliance of the author, especially on the pinpoint precision of a fast version of 'Fox in Socks', along with the understated morality tales of the star-bellied Sneetches and Gertrude McFuzz, both of which celebrate identity and individuality. Fox in Socks is a must-have for fans of any age.
