A good intermediate practice to Latin

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2001

Verified Purchase

Having tried to learn Latin, I found reading the Classics was extremely difficult. Afterall, it is written by a native speaker, and I am no Latin native speaker. So I found this book to be very useful. The only problem is that it emulates Dr. Seuss's writing so well, that the whole book uses pretty much once case in Latin. You will learn that case very well, but won't be able to practice other cases in normal writing. However, I think it was a terrific idea, and I like the fact that all the words are listed in the back (as well as the context). The fact that it uses more mundane words (compare with Caesar's Gaelic Wars) is also great for intermediate readers.
All in all, I consider it time well spent, not to mention, its just fun reading Dr. Seuss in Latin.

Cat in the Hat Goes Latin

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2010

Verified Purchase

I was looking for something familiar and easy-to-read for a friend's son who signed up for 2 years middle school Latin. I always liked the language because the stories in it (mostly Roman history) are good -- but it helps having something newer around written in it to relate to (I also loved finding 'Winnie Ille Pu' when I was learning Latin) -- this Cat in the Hat has a whole new take on Latin in rhyming poetry and it's just easy to 'get' when you know the original. I also ordered him 'Harry Potter' in Latin (Dominus et Domina Dursley!) -- I think knowing the plot and having some interest made the verbs easier to grasp and you start just leaping into it faster. Cat in the Hat has a good glossary of English word translations in the back.

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

I am so tempted to write this in Latin, but my Latin ain't that great. Nevertheless, I can read most of this book even with pretty weak Latin skills. I've read it's because they used some form of Latin that serious scholars look down their patrician noses at. I don't care. It's a fun book (you know the story already, I'm sure) and seeing it in Latin just makes it cool!

Hilarious

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2009

Verified Purchase

This book is hilarious. It doesn't have any educational value (if that's what you're looking for) but it's great just for laughs and can be read many times. Note that the language used is not so easy and not suitable unless you've had three or four years of Latin. If you need something simpler (for young children) you will be better off with Puer Zingiberi Panis: et Fabulae Alterae (Latin Edition) .

See my 'Latin Reading List' and 'Best Latin Books for Kids and Teens'.
