Dr. Seuss Fun Machine lives up to its name

Dr. Seuss provides fond memories for everyone. While the characters that provided that memory may change or be different for certain people, the memory is always pleasant. Dr. Seuss Fun Machine combines physical play of old school games with the interactive experience of tablet games.
