Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Dr. Seuss' easy-to-read rhymes about such unusual animals as las mascotas amarillas/todas se llaman Zedillas (yellow pets called the Zeds) appear here in lilting Spanish. Some beginning readers may be confused by the lack of connection from one rhyme to the next, but everyone will enjoy the author-artist's vivacious, recognizable art. REVWR

1.0 out of 5 stars One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, You didn't bother to make it rhyme??, December 21, 2008

This review is from: Un Pez, Dos Peces, Pez Rojo, Pez Azul/One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

Dr. Seuss is all about rhymes...this literal translation was obviously commissioned by someone only interested in making a few bucks, no consideration for the story or the kids reading it. Unfortunately, I did not realize that when I bought this book.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

I now ONLY buy Seuss traslations by Aida E. Marcuse, those are done properly. My kids love them!

One of the best, Huevos Verde con Jamon...Si me gusto Juan Ramon!

I am a native Spanish speaker and find this book pretty fun to read. I do not agree with some of the other negative reviews and think that the rhymes are nice and catchy, better than other Dr. Seuss books I've seen, and my daughter loves it.

So many of my friends who are the first generation living in the US, they grew up speaking a different language, are frustrated with how little their children speak of their language. I had purchased this book for my nephew, whose mother is a 2nd generation Mexican; when speaking to my brother about the language challenge, he said that it isn't so much the 2nd generation to the US that care as much about this. BUT when my nephew's abuelita comes over, it brings great joy to her heart to find something she can read to her little nieto. It is a wonderful way to support growing up with 2 languages.
