It would be great if there were more

I too think it would be great if they had more apps like
Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are (Read and Play)
I Can Read With My Eyes Shut (Read and Learn)
Oh Say Can You Say (Read and Learn)
If Possible Wacky Wednesday (Read and Learn)
And many others

Classic book / app!

This app is wonderful! This is my favorite Dr. Seuss book! The animations and play activities are fun! And of course the book itself is so iconic after nearly 70 years! The other Read and Play / Read And Learn books are great too! You should make even more like
The 500 Hats Of Bartholomew Cubbins (Read And Play),
Oh, The Thinks You Can Think! (Read And Learn),
Oh Say Can You Say? (Read And Learn)
And many others! Keep them coming!
