This is a super fun rhyme book for kids! it is all about not letting the world stop you from going out and seeing everything! this is perfect for any age of elementary age. ( )

Lily will sit through this whole book, but it comes off as a book for adults just as much as kids. Spot-on metaphoric illustrations and contemplations in rhyme about how sometimes in life you'll be at the top of the world and sometimes it's really going to suck.

I hate "the waiting place" myself. I am not sure if I have ever seen a "boom band," but it would be cool. ( )

I enjoyed reading "oh the places you'll go", it was one of my favorite books growing up and was gifted to me by my 4th grade teacher, I love how to book speaks to the ups and downs you'll face in life. ( )

Independent Reading level: Grades 3-5.

Love it. ( )

Oh the places you'll go with positive attitude! This story teaches young children that they might come across some challenges, difficult times, and new opportunities in life, but the important thing is to keep a good attitude, an open mind, and try new things! This book is filled with lessons of courage and determination!

I don't know why, but I was expecting way more out of this story.

Overall, the plot is intriguing, and the twist was well laid out. I def. didn't see parts of it coming, but I also feel like it could have been a stronger read if the pacing was a bit faster. I found myself bored throughout many parts of the story. Bouncing around in Elin's head was a bit taxing, and the big reveal about her was brush off too fast.

The setting for the story, being a sanatorium turned hotel, had all the factors of being creepy af, but they weren't being utilized. Instead we are left following around a detective—that is clearly suffering but that too isn't being fully utilized—wondering when the pizzazz is going to happen.

Can't say I'm interested in continuing the series, but it was a satisfying enough read.

You'll love this book if you enjoy mysteries that are toned down, and relaxing to read. ( )

This book is such an emotional book. Every time I read it I cry a little. It reminds me of all the things what we will do in our lives. This is an extremely easy read. I teach some kids I work with to read Dr. Seuss books, because most of the words are sight words. ( )

Well, yes, I guess we'll go places if we just keep going. ( )

I love this book; I believe it provides a powerful message to our children on how to advance and always work hard to successfully reach your goals. It mentions that you will find struggles, but it is ok and also part of the process to be successful. ( )

A classic story by Dr.Seuss. I remembering hearing this at my HS graduation and how it can really connect to many students in the many things they can. have, or could experience. I think this book would be best to have in 4th grade or up, because it is a rather lengthy book and younger students might not be able to sit through such a long read. ( )

A Dr. Seuss favorite! This story tells the tale of a child's future success. It depicts how life doesn't always go the way we think it will, but that with persistence anyone can prevail. ( )

A fantastical reassurance to children that they will be successful as long as they have the courage to try new things. I like that Seuss doesn't just speak about winning. He points out that life is also about failing and sometimes being left behind, but everyone can find their own path. His prose is simple but remarkably profound.

All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.

And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.

But on you will go
though the weather be foul.
On you will go
though your enemies prowl.
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl.
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak. ( )

Still a favorite. ( )

Love this book. Inspiring and fun. ( )

Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a classic, rhyming story that can make a classroom fun. The story is about making decisions about what you want to do and where you want to go. Dr. Seuss makes some good points all throughout this story, which can teach some important lessons to young students. He brings up how life can throw hardships your way, but to keep going to get where you want to be. This book is told through rhyming words, so it can also be a good way to introduce that concept in an elementary classroom. Overall, this book contains useful information about all of the different places we might end up in the world and reminds to reader to make the best of things. ( )

Many highs and lows follow this immersive fantasy tale. I loved the way it dealt with the psychology of succeeding and failing and our reactions to both. The elephants were a very nice touch.

It also took on the very controversial second-person narrative structure, and because of its length, neither I nor my daughter had any problems with it.

My wife, on the other hand, hated it. That's when I felt the true lows of this immersive fantasy tale, and it had nothing to do with the popping of any balloon or being forced to walk it off. Oh, alas! The places I have to go! Kids should never have to sit through an argument at bedtime!
