INFANTIL

—Pero es que la abuela es taaan aburrida... —se quejó Ben. Era una fría tarde de viernes del mes de noviembre, y como de costumbre, iba repantigado en el asiento trasero del coche de sus padres, camino de la casa de la abuela, donde se vería obligado a pasar la noche una vez más—. Todos los viejos lo son. —No hables así de tu abuela —le regañó su padre con desgana. Su gran barriga se aplastaba contra el volante del pequeño coche marrón. —Odio quedarme con la abuela —protestó Ben—. ¡Tiene la tele estropeada, solo piensa en jugar al Scrabble y apesta a repollo hervido!

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)!
