* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: In "Cat, Hat", the Cat gives accurate translations of his name in French, Spanish, German and Russian. But in the same breath he says that he's "a ''gwunka'' in a ''bunka-kwunk'' in Eskimo". No Inuit language has words remotely like this; this being 40 years before Google Translate, it seems Dr. Seuss just made up some gibberish to complete the rhyme scheme. Interestingly, you could still make a rhyme out of an accurate translation - in the Yup'ik dialect, for example, you could call him a ''kuuskaq'' in a ''nacarpiaq.''
