Oh, the Places You'll Go!

I enjoyed reading this book. It is a great book to read to children because of its reapeativeness as well as its full page illustrations. It is a very motivational book. It talks about a variety of life events that can bring you down but its up to you to overcome and proceed with life.

My Response. I liked this book once I re read it at my age now I get the understanding of the book. When I read it as a child I think all I cared about were the pictures because at that age I didn't know the whole meaning to the book.

My favorite Dr. Suess book ever written! I think this book can be used for young children as well as adults. For example, I know multiple friends who received this book as a graduation present (high school and college). It's a fun way to teach children about dreams and rhyme and rhythm all at the

same time! They quickly pick up on the rhythm of the book and the fun words that Dr. Suess always adds. I highly recommend this book to teachers and students of all ages- definitely a classic!

This book has always been one of my favorites! I just love how it is so fun and the pictures are so colorful! Also the overall message of the book is so good. There are many places you go in your life and this book just talks about the choices you make and how you can succeed!

Such a wonderful book! it can be read to the youngest readers up to the oldest adult! I loved it!

Oh, The Places You’ll Go! is the go-to gift for graduates, whether the recipient is graduating from preschool or college. I received my copy for as a high school graduation gift and hadn’t looked it for years. When babysitting this weekend, I pulled it out and read it to my young cousin and

nephew. After so many years of not looking at the book, I was delightfully surprised to find that Dr. Seuss not only extols the reader’s would-be successes in his usual bombastic flair, but he also addresses failures in some detail. It makes for a balanced read for children and adults, reminding readers that life comes with ups and downs. The text is accompanied by Dr. Seuss’s signature illustrations, which help portray the highs and lows of the journey of life.

Wonderful book that can be applied to all ages. There are many places you will go in life, and sometimes it won't be easy, but you will get through. You are in charge of the decisions you make which can affect your future and what happens to you. Makes for great discussion.

One of my favorite books. Good for any level of students. This is a good book to tell kids that they can do anything they put their mind too. Very colorful, the kids would love the pictures and being able to say oh, the places You'll Go!

I've had this book since I was in college, and I look forward to reading it to my kids as they get older. It's typical Suess, fun to read, fun to look at, and interesting lessons about the future and life.

Although I understand this is a book for high school or college graduates, this was given to me as a present for our upcoming cross-country trip. It is so fitting for that and just a wonderfully written story. You can't beat Dr. Seuss!

Dr. Seuss tackles the triumphs and low points of the journey that is life. A really cute read!

I originally purchased this book for my then 5 year old as he was preparing to start Kindergarten. At the time, I really thought it was for kids starting school. It was a wonderful conversation starter to talk to him about all the wonderful things and new experiences he was about to encounter in

school.

I then did the same thing with my next child and every now and then when they get low and wonder about their future, I pull this book out and read it with them. This book is great at sparking imagination and letting children know that from time to time they will be left behind or disappointed, but that around the corner something new and unexpected will happen.

This book is also wonderful for a graduation gift, whether from high school or college as the message in simple rhymes can do nothing but lift spirits. I highly recommend this book as a keeper!

A must for anyone graduation or moving on with their life. This Dr. Seuss book is truly inspiring and a tear jerker.

I love Dr. Seuss books. And I used to read them to my host children when I worked as an Au Pair. Consequently my host parents gave me this book when I left after 2 years. The book is great and makes saying goodbye at least a little easier. I would recommend this as a gift for everyone going away to

This book is good for a little older grade (maybe 2 or 3) It is good for letting children know that the possibilities are endless but it's not always an easy road.

The long poem tells the story of a nameless protagonist as he endures a wild and crazy journey. The plot describes the ups and downs the protagonist must go through as he makes choices in the crazy world he is trapped in.

Teachers could assign parts of the poem to different groups of students who must illustrate the part using their own imaginations. Also the entire class could act out the entire story with a few students s narrarator.

This is a wonderful little story. It is so encouraging of young students, and I would always recommend reading it to any age student... even a high schooler can benefit.

The choices you make in life affect where you go, and any obstacles you come to should be faced to make you stronger. The one character that the book follows is never named, but that helps in making the book apply to anyone without having a memorable character. Throughout the book, this character

faces many difficulties and accomplishments, which could happen anywhere, in any order. The style is rhyming lines that describe the different situations, and the illustrations show these events unfolding in Dr. Seuss' usual world of color and crazy shapes. It is a very good book for children facing hardships, and I would include it in my collection.

read to someone who may have lost their way. The kids liked this book and said it made them inspirational and makes them believe that they will succeed in anything they do.

This would be a great book to hide the cover and have the children while you read it to them. They can make their own story of the places they see themselves going.
