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.

I love this book! The translation is excellent and the rhymes are very funny! I read it to my nieces, who are bilingual, and they enjoyed it as much, if not more, than the English version. I own both the original version and the Spanish translation. Both of them are great!

This book is absolutely awsome, not only because its author is Dr. Seus; it is also because it came in a beautiful edition with hard cover and the best translation in Spanish.
For a little girl who loves Dr. Seus stories and who is learning Spanish as second language, Un Pez, Dos Peces, Pez Rojo, Pez Azul is a great approach to the world of literature in a foreing language.

For Read Across America night at school, a fellow teacher and I read bot the English and Spanish version of this book. the families really enjoyed it. With all the repetion, the children quickly picked up the Spanish words.

The book is great! I can't wait to read it to my son who will be here in 1 month!!

Wow, this book in Spanish is a adorable I love it, I purchased it for my 18 month old baby,!!! I read it every night!!

I trusted the reviewers that recommended this book and disregarded the bad reviews just to find out that those who gave it one star were right. So here am I telling my story: this book is not fun to read and the are no rhyme or pace (at all).

Also, the story is very lousy and the book end without conveying any worthy message (like Horton hears a Who, Yertle, or the Snetches). I do not recommend this book for your kids' library.

I like Dr Seuss; I got to know his work as an adult when I move to the U.S. from South America. I now have a baby and wanted to get her some books in Spanish (my first language). Like any other author some of his books are worth having and others, like this one, are not.

One of the worst translations that I have ever read, don't waste your money, if you want some Dr Seus go for Huevos verdes con Jamon, that one has an excellent translation.
