Product Description
In this joyous ode to life and success, Dr. Seuss's message is simple but never sappy: Life may be a "Great Balancing Act," but through it all, "There's fun to be done."Format: Hardcover ISBN: 0679805273 Publisher: Random House, Incorporated Pub. Date: January 1990

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. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter

One of my favorites May 6, 2008
I love this book. It is honest but hopeful. I have 2 copies of this book. One for my son and one for my daughter. Neither of them know about them. I have been having their teachers sign a little message to them at the end of each school year and will give it to them when they graduate from high school.
All the Advice You Need April 20, 2008
A true classic whose message is relevant through almost any stage of a person's career and life.
Forget the multitudes of self-help and inspiration books that are out there to help with your career, busines, and life - all the advice you need is contained in the colorful pages of this slim volume.

"Oh, the Places You'll Go!" was purchased as a gift to my daughter upon her graduation from college. It's message applies to all ages and offers encouragement to anyone undertaking a new adventure. The book was in excellent condition and arrived promptly.
 If you've read the hype, u've read the book April 8, 2008
there isn't much else to read, apart from the free excerpts available everywhere. Otherwise, a great book for all ages.
Not eye dry eye to be found... April 5, 2008
This is one of my favorite graduation gifts. I use the front cover to write a personal note to the graduate and usually cry my way through. It is exciting to see someone on the cusp of their future and this book is reassuring as they go out into the big world. I give this book the highest recommendation possible.
