Dr Seuss (along with Roald Dahl perhaps) doesn't need introduction and this one's a little obvious entry on our blog but it's the most indispensable one. "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" , is a timeless speech/book/advice/essay made ever so special by exquisite illustrations. Dr. Seuss, for many kids and adults, is a major part of their childhood literary scenes- and quite deservedly so.
The things that Dr. Seuss discusses in this book are mundanely simple, blatantly banal but perfectly relevant across ages. Seussville is a place of dreams and there's hope for everyone in Seussville.Whenever you or your little ones are about to end one phase of life and enter a new one (think kindergarten, first grade to second, high school, graduation, jobs, marriages and parenthood), this book can be all the advice you will ever need. Perfectly rollicking rhythm to his words was a gift that Dr Seuss enjoyed. He will warn you that life is a great leveler, 'a balancing act', but there's a lot of fun to be had as well, if you know where to look for it. He has quietly sneaked in some reading motivation for kids as well.
Dr Seuss assures (and with 98.75% confidence!) not only your kids, but you as well, that you are going to fly high and fall deep, but fear not, life is indeed about ups and downs. Isn't that what every philosopher said?
This, by far, is our most favorite of Dr Seuss books. There are many other good ones as well, but none so relevant and wise for all age groups.
