About the Author
Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to his millions of fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, which included the creation of the one and only ‘The Cat in the Hat’, published in 1957.

5.0 out of 5 stars poétique et éducatif
Dr Seuss savait y faire avec les enfants. Ce court "roman"/ album leur apprend rien de moins que la vie avec ses hauts et ses bas: qu'ils peuvent réussir tout ce qu'ils auront la volonté d'accomplir, mais que parfois ils connaîtront des échecs et que tout ira mal, avant de reprendre le dessus et de triompher.
C'est une histoire rimée et poétique comme à l'habitude. Le vocabulaire n'est pas très compliqué pour les enfants, mais représentera un défi pour les adultes qui essaieront de leur traduire les phrases, tant les jeux de mots sont omniprésents.
Mes enfants adorent, et rient beaucoup quand je la leur raconte.
