Product Description

Book Description
A Latin twist on a favorite children's tale that is one of the first books for countless children, this story of a free-spirited Cat who, with his high jinks and mischievous friends (Things One and Two) turns the house upside-down for two bored children on a rainy day is retold in Latin in Cattus Petasatus.

This edition features the original artwork of Dr. Seuss and a translation in rhyming verse that echoes the sound of the original Cat in the Hat.

The wonderful, whimsical, and thought-provoking stories of Dr. Seuss have been published in twenty languages. An excellent addition to Seuss collections the world over, this Latin-language edition of Seuss' timeless first reader is a welcome, all-occasion gift, a delightful way to revisit a treasured tale, and an enjoyable way to refresh your high school Latin.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Even Rhymes!, 29 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Cattus Petasatus: The Cat in the Hat in Latin (Hardcover)
This is really good, especially if you already have 'The Cat in the Hat'. It rhymes in Latin, as it does in the English version, so is consequently not exactly the same as the english version with respect to each exact line, but the story is the same, set in the same pictures as the English version! It has got a dictionary at the back if you aren't fluent in Latin! I would also reccomend this book for older children, especially if they are studying Latin, as it is more interesting than the average Lain text studied in School!
