Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Video a.k.a. Random House's Beginner Book Videos is a 30-40 minute video series where the creators from Random House Inc. start a project by bringing Dr. Seuss' books to a video premiering series with the help of other production companies such as Praxis Media and later Greenlight Media, and the Dr. Seuss books are used as being on screen by computer animation and characters of the pages are moving at some point as the story from the book is being narrated. The creators of Praxis and Greenlight Media used both Beginner books and Bright and Early books.
There are also other books of Dr. Seuss that have been brought to video as well. However, these are not beginner books. These books have been brought to video premiering and have been presented as Dr. Seuss Video Classics. Dr. Seuss Video Classics views other books to video such as Horton Hatches the Egg, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book, If I Ran The Zoo, Thidwick the Big Hearted Moose and more of others.
On the Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Video series' intro, a male voice says, "Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Video". The scene is depicted as a blue screen and the words "Dr. Seuss" and "Beginner Book Video" appear in yellow. Then the scene cuts to 12 books by Dr. Seuss. And when the 12 books appear, you see layers of characters (12 characters in total --1 for each book) fly to their books which then makes the book glow and become double layered. (The characters --who fly to their books-- are portraited, usually matching their portraits to the front cover of their books.) When the book glows (and gets "double-layered"), the title of the book gets revealed.
This is the order (out of the 12 books altogether):
•For the first book -- out of 12 -- you --for the first book -- see the Red fish flying into her book (titled One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish). She -- the Red Fish -- is the first character (of the 12 characters altogether) to get into her book.
•For the second book -- out of 12 -- you --for the second book -- see the Boy -- with the Wocket in his pocket -- and they --if one means "both the boy and the Wocket" -- fly into their book (titled There's a Wocket in My Pocket!). He (the Boy with the Wocket) is the second character (out of 12) to get into their book.

•During the making of this project, the Praxis Media team has had piles of his books to use. They would use two books of the same story each to, edit copy, paint paste and drawn filling in the scene for the video in hopes of everything to be just like it was in the book.
•The collaboration of Random House and Praxis Media took place Palace Production Center in Norwalk, CT where the project started.
•Staci Neri, the cutout layout artist for Praxis Media, stated that if the creators made a mistake in cutout and layout from the book to animation book it had to be completely redone. The work of this project was very specific to accomplish. When the project is done it becomes post production and cannot be appeal to be fixed after when everything has officially been concluded. If the project wasn't good enough the creators would have to start the entire book/video over again. But the reason they did the animation the way they did it was because he Dr. Seuss didn't want his artwork re-done anymore. He wasn't happy with the movies that had been made previously such as, The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, The Hoober-Bloob Highway, Dr. Seuss on the Loose, Horton Hatches the Egg (1942 film), Horton Hears a Who!, etc. He wanted them to be his artwork exactly he stated himself. He didn't want the full animation in the project and if he did that would mean he would have to sign over the rights to those books he wrote himself.
•In these videos, some of the characters you seen in the book may or may not have their eyes opened or closed and they may or may not do movement. The characters in the books are now used as a layers for the pages of the books made into scenes by computer editing, painting and drawing. There are times the backgrounds on the video are different from the book or modified such as trees, houses, walls being a bit closer or some certain parts that they can't get in or draw and color and paint in what has been cut off from the book. Sometimes the character/layer is seen with another object in hand or a face replaced with the same one whether he or she is facing from right to left or the other way around or they use another face or the same character and put it on that person on that page or if another hat is worn and so forth.
