Illus. in full color. "Dont be fooled by the title of this seriocomic ode to success its 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 Theres fun to be done."--(starred) Booklist.
Amazon.com Review
Inspirational yet honest, and always rhythmically rollicking, Oh, the Places Youll 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: "Youll be on your way up! / Youll be seeing great sights! / Youll join the high fliers / who soar to high heights." At the same time, he wont 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. / Youll 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
