HORTON AND THE KWUGGERBUG AND MORE LOST STORIES

Narrator Chris Cox brings some of Dr. Seuss’s beloved characters— Horton, Marco, Officer Pat, and the Grinch—to new life in this collection of stories not previously published in book form. Cox narrates at a steady clip, letting the flow, rhythm, and cadence of Seuss’s words take center stage. He elongates words at times—for example, as the Kwuggerbug tells Horton the elephant to “streeeeeeetch out your trunk”—and emphasizes Seuss’s alliteration —”tattered his toenails and bruised all his bones.” Cox’s voice is youthful and playful, perfect for what Seuss’s calls “logical insanity.” To complete the production, Seuss expert Charles Cohen provides insights on Seuss’s literary career.
