...difference now, of course, is that Dr. Seuss is no longer here to guide his work into other realms, and even the sharpest entertainers are finding the transition difficult. Before Universal's recent acquisition of The Cat in the Hat, it foundered under Steven Spielberg at DreamWorks, despite the efforts of Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), who spent nearly a year composing a screenplay in rhyme. Seussical, the $10 million musical pastiche of several Seuss stories narrated by Seuss's Cat, has also had its share of bumps on the way to Broadway. Key members of the creative...
...even in the absence of the good doctor, the widow maintains a substantial amount of control. Aided by Karl ZoBell, vice president of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, and ICM agent Herb Cheyette, she reserves veto power over almost every aspect of the adaptations. To list all the movie-related merchandise hitting stores, TIME would have to forgo coverage of the election, but if you're thinking of decorating with Grinch inflatable furniture or have a taste for Oreos with green filling, you're in luck.

The latest ShowStopper comes with 60 hours of recording time (at the lowest-quality setting), and that's more than enough for even the most obsessive Homerphile...
...life, remember? But the loaves in Glezer's book, photographed by Ben Fink, twist and turn and glow and dazzle. Glezer, a baker certified by the American Institute of Baking, unravels the mysteries of sourdough, composes a Finnish rye bread and deconstructs baguettes. Her comforting tone will soothe even the nervous novice: "It's only flour and water and time," she insists. But a look through these pages shows that when Glezer bakes, it's actually high art. If anything is going to persuade time-starved American cooks to pick up the yeast, it will be this breathtaking opus...
