Great fun book in a not dead language!
Bought this just to see what a translator could make of Seusian English. Well done book with a very nice and seemingly thorough vocabulary in the back of the book . I can imagine the translators had great fun working on this translation!

Seuss' rhythm doesn't translate, but fun
Id est quod est. My Latin is not good enough to evaluate the translation's quality, but this now has a spot on my shelf along with "Hobbitus Ille" and "Winnie Ille Pu."The biggest failure of this small book is not the translator's fault. Seuss' poetry is remarkable for its extremely regular rhythm and rhyme, two qualities that Latin poetry in general tends to downplay. To impose English poetic conventions on the language of Cicero would make it something ... well, something else.Fun! For Latin students, and people with strange senses of humor like myself.

The monster
The monster came to town and took Christmas away. This book is just as mad and entertaining as Cattus Petasatus: The Cat in the Hat in Latin (Latin Edition) . If you like the one you are sure to love the other. The language is witty and well-written.If you still find this a bit hard or want something more traditional try Puer Zingiberi Panis: et Fabulae Alterae (Latin Edition) .See my 'Latin Reading List' and 'Best Latin Books for Kids and Teens'.

Fabulous motivation for learning your Latin
The children enjoy their weekly Latin class, but THIS book excites them to learn everything they can in order to read The Grinch in Latin.

Great for Latin learners
We were pleased with our Latin version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It has made Latin more fun to learn for the whole family.
