Have no Idea who Dick & Jane are ???


Dick and Jane were the incredibly boring characters in a set of beginning
reader's textbooks from the late 1940s and 1950s. The text was limited
to sentences that were mostly only three words long: "See Dick run."

You must remember that Dr Seus is a very English /American thing ,
and wasn`t translated into other languages for many years....


I can't imagine anyone being able to translate Dr Seuss books,
they depend so much on the sounds of the language and the made-up words.
I liked the earlier books more than the later ones and can still quote
some of them.

Several years ago i saw one Dr Seus translated into Hebrews , a good
translation , but he didn`t catch here at all , thus i don`t think
that many more than 2-3 were translated.


I would think that most of them are untranslatable.
