X Abstract

In this joyous ode to life and success, Dr. Seuss's message is simple but never sappy: Life may be a "Great Balancing Act," but through it all, "There's fun to be done."<p>Format: Hardcover ISBN: 0679805273 Publisher: Random House, Incorporated Pub. Date: January 1990 Inspirational yet honest, and always rhythmically rollicking, <I>Oh, the Places You'll Go!</I> 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."<p> 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) <I>--Emilie Coulter</I>
