He encontrado varios libros de este escritor, por lo que le he querido dar una oportunidad a cada uno... Aunque sean para niños. Este libro me gustó mucho por su rima en la narrativa, por sus ilustraciones y la forma en que le hacen ver la importancia de leer a los niños.

Lovely book for kids to know about reading and how important it is.

I remember reading this one with my kids when they were small and we have just read it again as part of our #bookadayinMay project. It has the same classic feel as other Dr. Seuss books that I love and I'm always happy to see The Cat in the Hat starring in a book and imparting his "wisdom."

I love Dr Seuss's books, and I Can Read with My Eyes Shut! I think it's even more special because it talks about reading and its benefits in a fun way.

This book is a fun trip down memory lane, as a very relatable story of a kid learning more about books and their capabilities.

Just like any other Dr. Seuss book, I found this one to be almost everything I like in a kids book. I found that a kids book has to be relatable, and that's exactly what this was for me. I remember telling mom and dad something like "I can read this book with both of my eyes closed" or "I can read like this or that...". Also, like any other Dr. Seuss book I've picked up, It has a distinct look and feel to it. Anything from the made-up words to the consistent yet unpredictable rhyme scheme, to the unique illustrations, make it unmistakable as a Dr. Seuss book. The use of repetition and the overall theme of getting to learn more through books make it an intriguing book from cover to cover.

There are two main characters in the book, one that talks, and one that doesn't, which is also relatable as we have all been in the shoes of a child and as a student. The audience of the book can relate most to the younger cat I would say.

The book's mood is playful, and the theme as I see it is pretty cut and dry. It is a message to kids who say to their mom and dad "I can read with my eyes shut" that they can't. They have to open their eyes to read the book and to absorb the world around them.

The illustrations in this book are full of color with a lot of white space, making it easy to focus on one picture at a time, without too much detail to distract from the reading. The typography is a standard looking text, which serves the same purpose as I see it.

"You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut" reaches so much farther in my heart then a children's picture book. Dr. Seuss delves into the reader's childhood imagination to conjure up infinite possibilities of where reading can take you. The author continually lists numerous wacky scenarios of what the reader can read about. The reader can read in colors, out of their left eye, out of their right, they can even read about mice and ice and ice on mice. As you keep reading, the options of what you can read about grows significantly, in i'm not sure what direction. There is no rhyme or reason to Dr. Seuss's subjects, other then the fact that you can tell the child's imagination is growing with each turn of a page.
The author is well known by many people for his crazy sense of illustrations and rhyming, which always catches my eye. The few words of text are greatly impacted by the beautiful pictures which bring his words to life. You can feel the sense of happiness and imagination as your eyes follow the words right into the setting of the book. Dr. Seuss had his main character, Cat in the Hat, reading to a younger cat who as I continued to read, I noticed that he would appear in every picture. The little cat was the one learning about the different ways to read, which made be relate the little cat to children and Cat in the Hat could be the parents or teachers. This brought the whole book together for me, making me realize that the little cat's imagination grew as he read more. The moral of this story is clear, but the ride to the end is all up to your imagination.

My 5 year old daughter got this book from the library today and she's already read it multiple times. It's a very easy read for her with easy words except for about 3 that she asked for help on. She enjoys most Dr. Seuss books because of their rhyming and general silliness. It talks about all the different places and ways you can read a book as well as all the different and silly things you can learn about by reading. It is also shorter than some of the other Dr. Seuss books we have with only about one or two rhyming sentences per page, which is a bonus for me :) My daughter gets tired of reading a book that has paragraphs on each page so this is just right for her to be able to read it herself. It's a good choice for your next visit to the library!

I Can Read With My Eyes Shut by Dr. Seuss leads the reader into a fun and whimsical world that is seen in so many of his other iconic books. The story line involves the Cat in the Hat as the main character who starts off with things he can read. We go on the journey with him and see the different colors and items he can read. Though in the book he does reach one conflict which is that he is so confident with reading that he can read with his eyes closed but when he does it hurts his eyes. As the story progresses the reader sees all the things the Cat is able to read and how it expands his creativity and knowledge of the world around him. The story starts of simple by with one word phrases like “I can read in red” and “I can read in blue. The simplicity of these first sentences allow for him to connect with his intended audience, young children, in a way that they understand.

By incorporating the Cat in the Hat as the main character he creates an allusion to his extremely popular book Cat In The Hat which helps children make the connection and want to read this book as well. The illustrations add to the whimsy of the book and appeal to children because they are always thinking of creative things that no one else really thinks of. With phrases like “I can read in pickle color too” it adds humor to the book and once again appeals to children’s creativity. Dr. Seuss includes lots of rhyming in this book which keeps children engaged and subconsciously listening to the rhyming pattern. With the conflict in the book being so simple— being that the main character can read with his eyes shut but “it’s bad for his hat and makes his eyebrows red hot,” it plays on children’s innocence and gives them a simple conflict that they could connect to and it is something that could occur to them as well.

Dr. Seuss uses this book as a way to connect fun with reading and encourage parents to read to their children as well as for children to read in general. He uses this book as a way to show children that reading can be fun and how the reader can get creative with what they are reading. He encourages kids to keep reading and even become “speedy readers because there is so much to read.” Although Dr. Seuss is a better storyteller in his other iconic books, this one is a great way to show kids how creative and fun reading can be.

This is the Spanish language edition (not bilingual). I have read so many of Dr. Seuss' books, but I missed reading the English version of it (titled I Can Read with My Eyes Shut!). It was, therefore, a new and welcome discovery. Although there was unknown vocabulary, it was easy to get the general idea without using the dictionary. My Spanish teachers were always emphasizing that we should be reading for context and limiting the number of words we looked up for optimal success. Therefore, this book is great for anyone wanting to learn more Spanish.

The story itself, contains all the usual, funny, outrageous things, typical of a Dr. Seuss' book, but somehow this one seemed to have even more outlandish things happening. Maybe I imagined that, since I hadn't read it before and having heard his other ones so many times they began to seem "normal".

The Cat in the Hat can read the word Mississippi (and other items) with his eyes closed, read while upside down, read with different colored glasses in each eye, and other such things. The best thing in life he tells the boy, is that you can learn so many, many more things by keeping your eyes open! While walking, he might see "caimanes con pantalón"- small alligators with trousers on, for example. Viewing things in this way will leave him (or anyone) open to learning and experiencing a much richer existence, he advises.

A fun read.

I Can Read With My Eyes Shut by Dr. Seuss

As a reader, I have made the assumption that everyone loves Dr. Seuss and his rhythmical style stories. This book was no different from his first and last book. Filled with rhymes and goofy illustrations, this book puts a smile on my face. It elaborates on how reading can be enjoyable and it doesn't necessarily mean reading chapter books or old "boring" books. It could be reading anything a reader can find enjoyable or learning something new. I feel that in this story Dr. Seuss is explaining that reading is learning, and you can never stop learning, nor can you ever stop reading.

I personally am not a huge reader, and many people know this. But that doesn't mean I don't. I love learning knew things when I read. I enjoy getting accessible knowledge and learning things I don't already know. From philosophy, to magazine articles, to instructions on how to build a trailer, I'm always reading and learning something.

So fun to read a crazy Dr. Seuss book in another language. It's a good tool for me to start grasping vocabulary and grammar (in a poetic way). I needed to read this carefully and make sure I know the translation well so I can explain it to my daughter when I read it to her.

Even though this isn’t my favorite Dr. Seuss book, it is still a wonderful read for all ages. The art is as iconic and as colorful as ever. The language is simple enough and the book is written in a way that it addresses the reader. The placement of some of the words on the page made a few of the rhymes less obvious but they were still ever-present. The story features a younger character that children should be able to relate to and the character antics are wonderfully entertaining. Each page is different from the next and a few things come off as random but it makes the story loveable. The story introduces many different ways to read, some are purely fictional and others are just plain fun. Overall, it is a book worth reading
