Title: Teacher Review: Not true to Dr. Seuss's literary style
Review: Dr. Seuss's books are known for their rhyme and and whimsical characters. This translation DOES NOT succeed in achieving the lyrical style in Spanish. Any Dr. Seuss books translated by Aida Marcuse or Yanitzia Cannetti are fabulous because they ARE able to maintain the lyrical rhyme in Spanish. I hope one day that one of those two translators does their magic with The Cat in the Hat. In the mean time, I just read this one to my son in English. The sequel, El Gato con Sombrero Viene de Nuevo, (I believe is the title), is translated by one of these ladies and is fabulous.
