Oh, the Places You"ll Go! by Dr. Seuss (Hardcover)

"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.
