Description
| Product Description |
|
| 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.

When my children graduated from high school, I bought each of them this book and had the guests at their party sign it for them. The book itself is a wonderful ode to both the scariness and exhilaration of growing up and being in charge of your own life. The guests loved it and spent a lot of time making it a keepsake for my children by picking out pictures or phrases that they loved and then writing a few words of encouragement or congratulations. A marvelously inspirational book and a great gift for children of all ages. Enjoy!

This classic seuss is a must have for every book shelf. Great gift for the grad or person moving on. In particular, this copy was in mint condition and a very good aquisition at a fraction of the cost of a brand new one. Thumbs up for Dr. Seuss and those who sell at Amazon.com

I gave each one of my cousins this book for high school and college graduations. Both loved it and the story tells it like it is. Even their parents loved reading it. It was a perfect little extra gift from my two year old daughter to them.

Great gift for a recent graduate of any age ... as my boyfriend's father pointed out, "This book has an important life lesson."
