I just realized there is a Dr. Seuss Movie marathon on ABC Family (it's Channel 180 on DISH Satellite TV, and we're in Pacific Time here)today!. Right now it's "The Lorax" and following will be the animated short classics, "The Cat in the Hat" and the Grinch Grinches..." and then the super funny Jim Carrey movie, "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
I'm going to use them for lessons too. If you read this after they air, though, don't fret. You can still catch most all of them here:

It'll be so much fun to watch Green Eggs and Ham in an animated version, since I've read it so many times to all my kids through the years! You can find it here if you don't yet have a copy:
