Dr. Seuss Books in Spanish
There's hardly a person in this country who hasn't read one of Seuss' books at some point. Especially if you are a parent! But did you know that many of his books are available in Spanish, too? The best ones are those that are translated by Yanetzia Canetti.
And lucky for us, she has translated quite a few of Dr. Seuss' wonderful tales for children including:
