INFANTIL

Tommy and his sister Annika have a new neighbor, and her name is Pippi Longstocking. She has crazy red pigtails, no parents to tell her what to do, a horse that lives on her porch, and a pet monkey named Mr. Nilsson. Whether Pippi’s scrubbing her floors, doing arithmetic, or stirring things up at a fancy tea party, her flair for the outrageous always seems to lead to another adventure.

Érase una vez un pequeño oso y un pequeño tigre que vivían allá abajo, a la orilla del río. Justo donde se ve subir el humo, junto al árbol grande. Y además, tenían una barca... La vida de pequeño oso y pequeño tigre experimenta un vuelco cuando, flotando en el río, aparece una caja que viene de Panamá y que huele a plátano. Desde entonces, Panamá se convierte en el país de sus sueños y por eso deciden iniciar un largo viaje para llegar allí. Con una olla roja, una caña de pescar y un patito-tigre de juguete, emprenden un camino en el que conocerán a un ratón de campo, un viejo zorro, una vaca, una corneja, una liebre y un erizo.

As topical today as when it was first published in 1938, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is the story of a young boy (the same one featured in the Caldecott Honor Award-winner Bartholomew and the Oobleck) and his unjust treatment at the hands of a king. Written in unrhymed prose, The 500 Hats is one of Dr. Seuss’s earliest works, and while it may not be as well-known as his other stories, the book addresses subjects that we know the good doctor was passionate about throughout his life: the abuse of power (as in Yertle the Turtle and Horton Hears a Who); rivalry (as in The Sneetches); and of course, zany good humor (as in The Cat in the Hat and all the other books he wrote and illustrated)!
