Micro review: 'Oh, the Places You'll Go!' by Dr. Seuss

This colourful classic by the much loved Dr Seuss was published one year before he died. His positive poems and illustrations have inspired generations.

The format of the book is simple. It has illustrations and the trademark rhyming poems of Dr Seuss and the theme of this book is to imagine the journey ahead. With his simple words he paints a picture of the reader heading forward in life, sometimes facing adversity but always overcoming them with zeal. Though it sounds naively positive, it actually describes the ruts, the fear and the confusion that hold adults back from their dreams. It very beautifully and joyfully advises them to overcome it. It is the sort of book that one could always read for motivation.

The book is a great gift for someone who is starting a new venture or graduating from school or college, no matter their age.

How critics view the book:
“…my favourite of Dr. Seuss’s books… not least for its combination of mastery, mystery and possibility.” praised The Guardian

“The celebrated whimsicalist who has given young readers and gigglers so many outrageous adventures over the years has opted for a more purposeful stroll in his latest outing.” said the New York Times
