Title: Excellent, Inspired translation
Review: The brilliance of Dr. Seuss is found as much in his illustrations as in his rhymes. While the former is universally appealing, the latter is difficult to translate. Other Dr. Seuss translations have suffered from being too literal, and thus lacking the original musicality. (The Cat in the Hat is a case in point). This translation brings Dr. Seuss to life in Spanish with clever turns of phrase and appropriate (rhyming) use of idiom that still syncs up with the illustrations. One of my favorite passages, accompanying illustrations of a fish with a star and a fish in a car, is:Este tiene una estrella.Este corre a todo dar.Va tan rápido en su autoque se va a estrellar.
