Description/Notes
This book of advice for youngsters tells them that in spite of problems, they can succeed. Gift guide, The New York Times , June 21, 2008: 'One book that has proved to be popular for graduates of all ages since it was first published in 1990.' From the Hardcover edition. In this joyous ode to life, Dr. Seuss addresses graduates of all ages--from nursery school to medical school--and gives them the get-up-and-go to move mountains with the unrivaled exuberance and charm. Illus. in full color. 'Don't be fooled by the title of this seriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain,' kid version. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, from loneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiar pajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey is captured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act,' but through it all 'There's fun to be done.''--(starred)Booklist. Advice in rhyme for proceeding in life; weathering fear, loneliness, and confusion; and being in charge of your actions.
