Theodor Seuss "Ted" Geisel was an American author, political cartoonist, poet, animator, book publisher, and artist, best known for authoring more than 60 children's books under the pen name Doctor Seuss.

This page brings together our Dr. Seuss translations so parents, teachers, and libraries can find the classics they love in the languages children speak at home or are learning at school. Our Dr. Seuss books are always fun for everyday reading and language-learning opportunities, like bedtime, classroom read-alouds, or even for adults who know the words in English by heart and are learning a new language.



Shop the Collection

We offer Dr. Seuss books in 7 different languages, including Italian, Hebrew, French, Polish, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish. Our Dr. Seuss translations are a delightful way to explore a foreign language. 

Why Parents Choose These Translations

The playful rhyme helps new vocabulary “stick,” while familiar plots lower the barrier to reading in a second language. For many families, these books are the bridge, where English sits alongside the translation, so that grown-ups can confidently guide the kids.

Teachers tell us that this works just as well for language-fluency maintenance as it does for early learners.

What’s the best pick for a beginner

For the bilingual Dr. Seuss Books, start with a favorite story you already know in English. This is generally the best approach, but if you don’t know where to begin, let us know, and we can help you.

Can I match a translation to the English edition I own?

These books are translated in a way that keeps the rhyming and charm intact, no matter what the language. As a result, there will be some slight differences between the translation and original versions in English. If you’re looking for a translation of a favorite Dr. Seuss book and don’t see it listed on the website, message us and we will see if we can find it in your desired language. If we can’t locate it, we’ll be happy to suggest another beloved Dr. Seuss translation.
