I also recently found Dr Seuss stuff translated into Latin. How about
Asterix in Gaelic?
My daughter has several books including the Cat in the Hat and Winnie the
Pooh in Latin. There is also a Latin version of wikipedia
http://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagina_prima I don't think they have any
classic computer information on it though.

If
you're really nutty, you can read the Latin versions of the Harry
Potter series.
You had better be able to read Cicero and Caesar when you tackle those.
Besides the first two books in Latin (and the first in classical Greek),
I also have _Tela Charlottae_, _Winnie-ille-Pu_[1] and _Winnie-ille-Pu
Semper Ludet_,[2] and _Ferdinandus Taurum_. One of these days I'll pick
up _Alice in terra mirabile_ and _Alice per speculo_, and maybe some
Asterix or Tin-tin or Babar.
The people who do this kind of translation are serious scholars taking a
break from serious scholastics, and are only interested in doing things
they can be proud of--not unlike restoring a half-century old bit of
electronics to working condition...[3]
