2.0 out of 5 stars Uninspired translation, June 28, 2000
By A Customer
This is a literal translation of The Cat in the Hat, and it loses all of what makes Dr. Seuss special. The cadence, rhythm and rhyme are all missing in this very uninspired translation. If you want to read Dr. Seuss in Spanish, try Juevos Verdes con Hamon. That translation was done right!

1.0 out of 5 stars Losing the rhyme is a crime..., May 25, 2000
By A Customer
A literal translation of Cat in the Hat does great damage to Dr. Seuss' original idea to teach children how to read. The Spanish version does not accomplish the goal. It contains little or no rhyme, uses words beyond a beginning reader's level, and does not entice the child to read the book in spanish.

2.0 out of 5 stars El Gato Cabizbajo, October 10, 2000
By William Thomas (Albany, NY United States) - See all my reviews
The literal, word-for-word translation destroys the flavor and fun of this classic. See Aida Marcuse's translations to see what can be done with Seuss by someone who puts in a bit of effort. It is not hard to rhyme spanish!

1.0 out of 5 stars Teacher's two thumbs down
The translation of this book is horrible! It is literally translated and doesn't even rhyme. Dr. Seuss would be very disappointed!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst translation I've ever seen
This is a put-down to the Spanish language. It is literally translated- word-for-word, and obviously that does not work with any kind of translation. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Painful to read
