Huevos verdes con jamón

I am learning spanish and this book was a great learning tool. We can all relate to Dr Seuss and it falls right in line to help learn the language. It is a confidence builder to pick up the book and understand the contents.

Dr. Seuss was such a gifted children's books writer, he knows how to keep kids engaged and amused -and adults too! Aida Marcuse (the translator) did a phenomenal job translating this one. IMO it's even more fun than the original version in English. Though often not the literal words since that would be impossible, the clever translation nevertheless conveys the meaning accurately while still keeping the rhymes and the flow of the story. It's such a fun read, my three-year old son asks for it often. We've been endlessly entertained reading this. Nos gusta mucho Huevos Verdes con Jamón, gracias, gracias Dr. Seuss & Aida Marcuse -this is a real treat!

This is a great book for young and old, it has a lot of repeating phases that help to really
get it in your head.

Needed something in Spanish for read-aloud at Dr. Seuss Night at local elementary school. This was perfect - a little tongue-twisty in spots, but so, so much better than than the Spanish version of The Cat In the Hat, which is a literal translation with no rhyme.

We had a lot of fun with this book during "Read Across America" week. I am a bilingual speech therapist and the teacher and I read the English and Spanish versions together (she read the page, then I would). We had 11 kids with us, 6 of them live in Spanish-speaking homes. I loved to see the bilingual students light up as they heard the English and Spanish versions. The English speaking kids thought it was great too. One even commented, "I know what gracias means...Thank you". Excellent pick for a bilingual lesson!
