Oh, the Places You'll Go! (Classic Seuss) Review
Oh, the Places You'll Go! (Classic Seuss) Overview
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.
Oh, the Places You'll Go! (Classic Seuss) Specifications
Inspirational yet honest, and always rhythmically rollicking, Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a perfect sendoff for children, 1 to 100, entering any new phase of their lives. Kindergartners, graduate students, newlyweds, newly employeds--all will glean shiny pearls of wisdom about the big, bountiful future. The incomparable Dr. Seuss rejoices in the potential everyone has to fulfill their wildest dreams: "You'll be on your way up! / You'll be seeing great sights! / You'll join the high fliers / who soar to high heights." At the same time, he won't delude the starry-eyed upstart about the pitfalls of life: "You can get all hung up / in a prickle-ly perch. / And your gang will fly on. / You'll be left in a Lurch."
But fear not! Dr. Seuss, with his inimitable illustrations and exhilarating rhymes, is convinced ("98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed") that success is imminent. As long as you remember "to be dexterous and deft. And NEVER mix up your right foot with your left," things should work out. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter
