One of the wisest and coolest books ever penned. Everyone should read it now and again. Okay, so I won't try to be the great Doc. But this book makes a wonderful graduation gift. And, it's a good one to remind you of life's ups and downs no matter where you are. A deep philosophical thread weaves unobtrusively through a wonderland of fantastical creatures my generation grew up with. Dr. Seuss was one of the greatest thinkers of my time. Go, Dog, Go. Green Eggs and Ham among others, including The Cat In The Hat. No matter how many times I read that one, I got really anxious as Things One and Two destroyed and cleaned the house just as the nyloned, high-heeled mom legs came into sight. Oh, the Places You'll Go deconstructs to a promise bound with a smile. I bought the book - actually three - for some graduates and stopped along my gift-wrapping way to linger in its pages and found myself thinking thoughts I thought I had forgot but discovered I had not. Sorry, can't help it. Buy the book.Read full review
I bought this special edition of Dr. Seuss' "Oh, the Places You'll Go" for my nephew graduating from high school. Although a cute childrens' story with lots of colorful and fanciful illustrations, this is really a great story in the Dr. Seuss style of verse about the roads we travel through LIFE. Success and failure, choices, slumps, encouragement, and times of waiting are all part of this story.. I liked the cloth-bound edition with slipcase, as it was more "mature" looking for a young man's bookcase. I'm sure a young lady wouldn't mind the original children's book with its pastel rainbow on the cover. A great gift for your favorite graduate.
Love the book and everything was exactly as description said. Thank you!
