"It made me wonder about the places I'd travel to and wonder if there were really such places in real llife like in the book such as "The Waiting Place."

Oh, the Places You'll Go is basically a fun way of saying all of the places you'll go in life - bad places, good places, scary places, places with people or places without others, etc. IT talks about being successful, and also messing up and going the wrong way. The book also deals with things like winning things or being alone. All of these are a part of everyone's life. The story encourages the reader that they know they'll always end up pulling through, no matter the places they'll go, what life throws at them, or what they get into.
Type: picture book, intermediate
Genre: fantasy
Illustrations: painted

A whimsical book that describes the different places you could go throughout your life. Like Dr. Suess's style the book has bright colors and crazy words. However, I recieved this book for graduation and it was a perfect gift. It explains that the sky is the limit and we can be or do whatever we set our minds too. A very positive, uplifting book! ( )

Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0001712667, Paperback)

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
