...newly commissioned arrangement of "A Christmas Song," written by the late Mel Torme, was a touching, beautiful addition to the program. However, the highlight of the concert was certainly the musical arrangement of Dr. Seuss' Yuletide classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Narrated by Will LeBow, a local actor with the American Repertory Theatre as well as the voice of Stanley on the animated series, "Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist," the entire audience was chuckling with laughter remembering the childhood tale. The concert concluded with an audience sing-a-long to holiday standards such as "Jingle Bells," "Winter Wonderland" and "Rudolph...
...together to show how an animated feature could be hip, visually fecund and (remember?) psychedelic. Four writers, including Love Story's Erich Segal, invented bizarre universes for the Beatles to stroll through, and designer Heinz Edelmann dreamed up creatures whose beguiling oddness suggests a collision of Dali and Dr. Seuss.

I.O.A. is stocked with familiar characters from Zeus to Seuss; with its imaginative attention to detail, the park is jazzy fun just to walk through. Toddlers could spend the day in Seuss Landing, a genial riot of DayGlo colors, where you can drink Moose Juice (turbo tangerine) or Goose Juice (sour green apple). In the Lost Continent area, you pass Magic Rock, which squirts water and speaks, with the droll sarcasm of a bachelor uncle roped...
...greatest children's books, it seems, are the ones children still read when they are grown-ups. This was the brilliance of Dr. Seuss and A. A. Milne. And with no exception, it was the brilliance of Shel Silverstein...
