Actually, they went -directly- from audiobook to iTunes, as these recordings had already come out for the Seuss 50th a few years back--

And having heard it, may I recommend David Hyde-Pierce (of, ahem, "Treasure Planet" fame)'s hilariously understated readings of "One Fish Two Fish" and "Fox in Socks", Kelsey Grammar's perfect casting for the "Cat in the Hat"'s, and John Cleese's to-the-note Seuss cadences on "...How Lucky".
(As for the others...ehh.  Michael McKean breezes through "Oh Say..." and Ted Danson is suitably celebrity-green angry on "The Lorax", but there's only so much that Jason Alexander can do with an audio-only "ABC".)

ARGH!

You misspelled "Seuss," Roger - over and over and OVER - but it's spelled right in the link to his website?

I'm a tad bit obsessed with misspellings, but that one's going to drive me crazy for a while...

I don't like misspellings either so it has now been fixed.
Combine too little sleep and not enough hours in the day and you get misteaks. Er, I mean mistakes.

I have fond memories of my mother reading me Dr. Seuss books before bed as a child. I hope today's kids won't have to settle for a machine rather than a parent reading them to sleep.

Thanks, Nancy.

I htink it bothered me more than it should have because I was tired.  Reading the site before 7AM might not be the best idea.  ;)
