Where I'm from (Czech Republic) Dr. Seuuss is not really big. We knew Grinch or Chocolate factory but mainly because of movies, not books. The first thing I read from Seuss was The Landlady in English class in high school.

Same here... unfortunately, I do not believe that Dr.Seuss was a thing here. I don't even think that most of his books were translated here.
But I know that so many YA characters mention his work and I was so confused to why.

Yeah, that's why I checked out his books as well. So many people mentioned him all the time so I had to know what the hype was all about 😂
And I think his books are very difficult to translate well because he uses a lot of rhymes and word play, that's probably why children in non-native English speaking countries don't grow up with his books..

Yeah, but poetry is still harder to translate than this and way more poetry was translated. But maybe with time more of his work will be translated to other countries.
But yes, I still remember how my American friends were always so confused thath I did not know Dr Seuss.
