Several Years Ago I was introduced to this delightful Dr Seuss book. [tweet_dis_img]

Most of you are familiar with this famous author of children’s books.
Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He published his first children’s book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, under the name of Dr. Seuss in 1937. Next came a string of best sellers, including The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. His rhymes and characters are beloved by generations.
I knew about many of his books of course, but this particular book was new to me. I LOVED it immediately! Every so often my copy finds it’s way to my night stand. Why?? Because ‘Oh the Places You’ll Go’ is meant for children AND adults.
It can be read in one sitting… and it packs a wallop!
Here is the opening page of the book. It sets the tone for a marvelous journey through your life. Each page offers a treatise on life… offering hope, encouraging us to dream big and reach for the stars
[tweet_box design=”default” float=”none”]Congratulations! Today is your day. You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away!”[/tweet_box]
These words of wisdom help us get the most from our journey in life.
“You won’t lag behind because you’ll have the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead.”….. “Except when you don’t. Because sometime you won’t.”

It also makes a wonderful graduation gift! Thanks for the reminder of this inspiring book, Alene 🙂
Love all the Dr. Suess books of wisdom. Little more involved than say Aesop’s Fables., but memorable and funny, that hits right to the kid in me.
Thanks for sharing this.
Yes they offer great tidbits of wisdom, Celea
One of his BEST books, always so upbeat and inspiring!
I totally agree Jill. This book features great lessons for our children, but also serves as a great reminder for us as adults.
Wow! I am tempted to go grab a copy and start reading. Thanks for sharing.
Give in to temptation ?
Love, love, love it! Thanks for bringing back the memories.
You are welcome Trisha. Going to re-read it tonite?
Oh yes.. I soooo love Dr. S… such great content.. and funny… and actually very inspirational… all the while his books are helpful and fun for kids.
He was a visionary for sure. Thanks Kristen?
I remember reading this book as a child. Sounds like to need to read it again. Thanks for the recommendation!
It is worth the purchase. Every cent. Thanks Carol

Thanks Geniece?
Your jewelry is so beautiful. When I read about Dr. Seuss I can see that the energy you put into your business is playful and lively!

Fond memories. When I graduated from high school, I received about a dozen copies of this book. It’s such a delight!
