Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Brief Description:
Advice in rhyme for proceeding in life; weathering fear, loneliness, and confusion; and being in charge of your actions.

Brief Description:
In this inimitable, humorous verse and pictures the author addresses the Great Balancing Act (life itself, and the ups and downs it presents) while encouraging us to find the success that lies within us.

Jacket Description/Flap:
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.

Marc Notes:
Advice in rhyme for proceeding in life;weathering fear, loneliness, and confusion;and being in charge of your actions.
