Oh, the Places You'll Go! By: Dr. Seuss

One of my favorite books now and when I was growing up was "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" I love Dr. Seuss and his stories. I think Dr. Seuss was one of the best all time authors. His writings were so different compared to every other style from his time period. Oh the Places You'll Go is a great book to talk about geography. This past summer when I was driving to the airport before leaving for Uganda, my mom read me this story in the car. I love that this story still applies to my life. The plot of this story is to explore the world and different places that others may not ever go. Another great quality about his book is the illustrations. They are so intricate and detailed and you could always count on them to be unusual. I love that you never know what the next page is going to look like or what the words Dr. Seuss is going to rhyme. One of my favorite quotes from this book is “You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.” I love to explore and travel the world! I agree with Dr. Seuss when he says, “You’ll see great sights!” People when you travel and go amazing places you are exposed to wonderful breath taking sights. I will use this to encourage travel among my students and show Dr. Seuss’ use of illustrations. I love when books a tell stories without words I believe it really helps children to pay attention and follow what is going on in the story. I love this book and Dr. Seuss!!
