Oh, the Places You'll Go! Classic Seuss :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
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.

Graduation

2009-06-29
I gave this book to a high school graduate who I think "will go places."

Wonderful Graduation Present!

This book is a perfect present for high school and college grads. The students grew up reading Dr. Seuss, so what an inspirational way to give them a view of the wonders to come.

Oh, The Places You'll Go!!

This Classic Seuss book has some wonderful words - appropriate for a new graduate, whether they are in high school, or college, or middle school. It hints of new things to see and do, new vistas and experiences, new choices to make. A wonderful book to be enjoyed by all.

Great graduation gift.

Deluxe edition in hard cardboard sleeve makes it easy to mail and light enough not to cost a fortune in postage. Excellent message to the recent grad.

Inspirational book...used to overcome fear of being alone.

This book was read and given to participants overcoming grief. I had it on my end table as a gentle reminder and would re-read whenever I felt overwhelmed (I had been widowed at a young age).

I highly recommend this book for anyone starting over, whether it be from the loss of a loved one, divorce or moving out for your first time.

I am a teacher and I give this book to graduating seniors that I had in first grade. They love it and it brings back good memories of their times reading Dr. Seuss books!

This is a great book for graduates

I bought this book for my grandaughter for her high school graduation. It is a very thought provoking book in such simple terms. It really makes one stop and think. It is a great gift for graduates from high school or even college

not just for the young

I purchased this book as a gift for my nephew as he graduated from high school. It is a traditional gift I give to all my family members as they end their high school career and enter the world of work or higher education. It has great references to what they can expect and the choices, troubles, and joy of what the future could hold. The language is in the traditional Dr. Seuss format which makes the initial read interesting but meaningful. It is a graduation gift that will hopefully have meaning for many years to come. All in all, it is a great book and I will purchase again.
