Dr. Seuss - Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Illus. in full color. "Don't be fooled by the title of this seriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain,' kid version. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, from loneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiar pajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey is captured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act,' but through it all 'There's fun to be done.'"--(starred) Booklist.

Your Journey Ahead is Sometimes Wonderful and Sometimes Dark, but You Should Still Go

Pros Inspirational, positive message, poetic, rhymes, colorful and imaginative illustrations.
Cons A few Dr. Seuss books are better in my opinion.
Recommended it? Yes

Our kids learned to read at a very early age (3-4 years old). We spend some time teaching them the alphabet and phonics and we read the Dr. Seuss books to them, and they read them to us. Except for a few Dr. Seuss books we read them all. We are currently in the process of giving away all our young... Read full review »

Pros great graduation gift
Cons some seniors might sneer because it's Seuss
Recommended it? Yes

Dr. Seuss may be considered one of the premier authors of children's books, but his whimsical rhymes and colorful illustrations aren't solely suited for the elementary set. Many of his books are especially well-crafted tales that can be equally enjoyed by adults; I place The Lorax and How the... Read full review »

Oh, the Places You'll Go!

For out-starting upstarts of all ages, here is a wonderfully wise and blessedly brief graduation speech from the one and only Dr. Seuss. In his inimitable, humorous verse and pictures he addresses the great Balancing Act (life itself, and the ups and downs it presents) while encouraging us to find the success that lies within us.This joyous ode to person fulfillment is one book that could not have been written by a young upstart. It's Dr.Seuss at his best. Parents will find Oh, the Place You'llGo! the perfect send-off for children starting out in the maze of life, be they nursery school grads or medical school achievers. Everyone will find it inspired good fun.
