Product Description

Review
Dr. Seuss ignites a child's imagination with his mischievous characters and zany verses. The Express

Product Description
In this classic Seussian tale, the good doctor primes his readers against all the little mishaps and misadventures that can befall even the best of us -- from bang-ups and hang-ups to lurches and slumps -- encouraging us to take life in our stride! With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide. As the first step in a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching 17 of Dr. Seuss's best-selling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three reading strands - Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. Oh, The Places You'll Go! belongs to the Yellow Back Book range.

5.0 out of 5 stars A better Christening gift than a silver spoon!, 18 Jul 2003
By A Customer
My sister bought this book for me when I was pregnant and I read it to my bump a few times each week. The rhythm of the words is like a melody and when my baby was small I could soothe her with these words again. Of course, that could be said for all Dr Seuss books, but there is something special about the message in this book that the world is your oyster.

It was a special gift with a lot of sentiment of hope and joy that this newborn child is a blank canvas with so many places to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute classic!, 11 Mar 2004
My personal favourite Seuss tale, which has a strong story running through it, describing the ups and downs of life without being either preachy or saccharine, just realistic! My two year old loves the rhythms and completes the lines as we read them, as well as the typically Seussian pictures. Anyone buying this with any knowledge of Dr. Seuss can be sure of getting one of his definitive works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Knowing and going, 5 Jan 2006
By Kurt Messick "FrKurt Messick" (London, SW1) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Of Seuss-an reviews this is the third
Likely my last, mostly absurd
But I had to think of life's general direction
And that brought me to this little reflection

The places we go
The places we know
The things that we show
The hearts that all glow

Life is but a journey friend
And friend with friend up till the end
We should be happy and we should be free
You should be you and I'll just be me

And OH, OH, the places we'll go
We'll go hither and we'll go fro
Over the rainbow and under a smile
Making the light year seem less than a mile

My own trek is one through theology
Determined it feels by biology
And compels me upon my wonderful way
And never doubting it for a day

That this is where I'm called to be
This is what I'm charged to see
By some much grander holy light
Which may someday give me greater sight

And until then the faith I'll hold
To try to make the journey bold
So that everyplace will feel like home
For everyplace is someone's home

Be it brown or be it blue
In a castle or a shoe
In the up and out the down
Journeying through every town

And still there will be more places to go
Still more ways in which we can grow
But may we never outgrow the Seuss
For then, dear friends, life's not much use

This is a lesser-known Dr. Seuss book, but still a great story and great learning device. This is especially well suited for children who are going through a transition or change in life, to show them in a cute and memorable way that life is journey in and of itself, and that there are good things to be found when leaving the security and safety of home.

An excellent text for children who may be nervous about going to school, going on a trip, or major life changes, this book is real treasure.
