• The Worst Translation I've Ever Seen 05 August, 2005
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. The translator has to use his/her discretion to transmit the message through whatever type of medium they are working with. In this case, Dr. Seuss's writing is playful and rhyming- this translation does not do this book any justice. They should really never have published this. Even as a non-native speaker of Spanish, I know that this translation is not well-done. My suggestion-- go read "Huevos verdes con jamon", which is wonderful.

The translation of this book is horrible! It is literally translated and doesn't even rhyme. Dr. Seuss would be very disappointed!!!
Try "Huevos verdes con jamón".

• Awful Translation!!! 10 February, 2005
We first bought "Huevos Verdes con Jamon" an excellent translation of "Green Eggs and Ham." The translator, Aida E. Marcuse, managed to play with the wording to retain the "Seussian" rhyme, rhythm, and whimsy. Based on that, we bought this bilingual edition without inspecting it first--big mistake!
I am an Anglo-American who learned Spanish as an adult, and I could have done this translation. Carlos Rivera's translation looks like he took a English-Spanish dictionary and went through the text line by line, translating each word in turn. The result is clunky, non-rhyming, and completely devoid of the charm so characteristic of Dr. Seuss's works. A child exposed to this book might come to think of Spanish as a dull, clunky language compared to the fun English text. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Spanish is much easier to rhyme than English, so this translation makes no sense whatsoever.
My suggestion to Random House: call Aida E. Marcuse and get her to do the same quality translation for "El Gato Ensombrerado" that she did for "Huevos Verdes con Jamon."

• The 1st Part Is Great, But... 03 March, 2007
I remember buying and trying to read this book as a young whippersnapper, so I thought I would pick it up for my nephew as a reward for keeping his pants up at school. After receiving this book in the mailbox (I prefer not to use e-lectric mail since I don't trust the darn thing), I realized this is not the same book that was printed 46 years ago. The first part is great and all, but I definitely do not remember the 2nd part. This might be some of Seuss' most eccentric work. Most of the words don't make sense, and don't even correlate to the illustrations. I guess the proofreaders came to work drunk the day they read this pile of horsefeathers. The book blatantly reuses the same illustrations from the first part of the book (as filler I guess), and there's all sorts of spelling errors. I even saw an upside down exclamation point. How'd they miss that one, let alone type it? I don't see that key on my typewriter. I'm not sure if they thought kids would get this far in the book or not. Yes, I understand how the world works these days; everyone's out to make a buck, but come on, they obviously added a bunch of incoherent filler pages so they could charge a premium for the book. The children are your CUSTOMERS, and you just ripped them off, Mr. Seuss.

• No Spanish Rhyme, But Still Worthwhile 09 April, 2007
Even though the Spanish portions don't rhyme, I still found the book a worthwhile tool for working with those gaining proficiency in reading the Spanish language. Because it doesn't go to lengths to make it rhyme, the English concepts are easier for beginners to find in the Spanish wording, and the words are easier to grasp the meaning of without a dictionary.
