Oh The places You'll Go

September 14, 2011
When I think about children's books I have many favorites but the one that stands out the most is Dr. Seuss's "Oh The Places You'll Go".  The message in that book can certainly be enjoyed by our preschoolers but it also can be understood on a grown up level as well. The notion of a world so full of many things to discover is exciting .  Actually, I have given that book to young people graduating from high school and even college. I especially like the lines:
             You have brains in your head.
             You have feet in your shoes. 
             You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
             You're on your own. And you know what you know.
             And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
The closing line sums it up well.
            Will you succeed? Yes you will indeed!
