Dr. Seuss can discern what children like—like: acrobats, balloons, cartoons, Easter Egg Hunts, elephants, frogs, games, hidden pictures, ice cream, jokes, kites, lockets, magic tricks, moon, museums, nature, penguins, The Ocean; and see through what their parents want—want to find the best quality of education material for their kids.
The mention above that is the source of a variety of animal, journey, nature and many more illustrated books Dr. Seuss had published over 60 books during his career.
Have you ever heard these words they say? :
“Actions speak louder than words”
“Hearing tells us a great deal about the world”
“Seeing is a gift that comes with practice.”
“Hearing tells us a great deal about the world – whether we are paying attention or not”
“Ears hear and eyes see”
“Seeing something once is better than hearing about it a hundred times. Doing something once is better than seeing it a hundred times.”
What would happen if one is seeing and hearing at a time?
Therefore, to me, I would add more quotes in my own:
“Hearing and seeing at a time vibrate us a great thought leading to start to do some things to reach to the goal”
wOw! Oops!
Those quotes I have illustrated, is only to take you to a good book, “Oh, The Places You'll Go!”written by Dr. Seuss.
It is very easy to make a question to your kids, “What would you like to be when you grow up?”
Vise versa, it is not too hard for your children to respond you something like; “I want to be a doctor”; “- a Spider-Man”, “- a teacher”, “-a cop”, “-a firefighter”, “- a singer.” One in five children, 22%, may reply you question want to be rich, whereas 19% want to be famous, and to be police officer, 16%, respectively when they grow up according to VoucherCodesPro.co.uk having survey the children aged 5 to 10. The source is form The Telegraph
Although, please, remember that “KIDs are KIDs”, they just wish to be like this and that based on what they perceive and experience the influence around them to trend only speak out what they want to say. They are too young, yet not even mature enough and seem to take things pretty well (worse) in different age. Since sometimes, you may see why kids with learning say things at the wrong time.
One of my kids has questioned me at the bus terminal, “What happen with that guy’s eye?” and point his finger out at him while we were waiting for the bus to go upcountry. I cannot remember what I have replied to him, my son, it is almost 20 years ago already.
Nevertheless, I still recognize that man sounds like knowing what my son talking about him. I think he would understand and not take it serious with a little innocent child the way he has done.
Ah, it takes time! The time for him (my kid) to grow and learn what is a peril, security, good, and bad, I think silently in my mind.

Dr. Seuss born in March 2' 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts, U.S. He, after finishing from Springfield’s Central High School, entered at Dartmouth College,-- a research private university and one of eight the Ivy League group, the private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern US, which are including Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. Dartmouth College is located in Hanover, New Hampshire.
Geisel is not a doctor; he started using his pen name "Dr. Seuss" while he was studying at Dartmouth College.
Where did Geisel (Dr. Seuss) study drawing?
He did not attend any lesson of art at all. Geisel practiced his drawing during he came along with his father working for city parks. There, Dr. Seuss had drawn a variety of the animals in the zoo, which is one part of the same fence of the parks. Unbelievable! he was self-thought in drawing and illustrating, and that leading him to be the big brother of cartoon books for children eventually…
I (probably you too) stare at his very first lighting up his future successful career in surprise!
I could not believe that really happened!--Dr. Seuss, a last forever cartoonist, can catches child and parents’ fancy by his many popular illustrated books—the books which are from the zoo to the world!
Actually, I would say Dr. Seuss’ books born from the zoo, grow up in his collage; Dartmouth, and travel to around the world. He, Dr. Seuss, published somewhat 60 books and distributed to more than 25 nations even in my country-Thailand, I can see many Dr. Seuss’s books.
These books were written by Dr. Seuss, which are I like and would like to show you. They are as follow;
I am not sure you had seen the same thing in the image of some part of Dr. Seuss as me or not. What I have seen are:
Dr. Seuss used several of letter font styles in printing such as bold, black, red, and italic-- I love it. He is very clever shorten the sentences by splitting them into many lines, each line containing a proper word with sending readers a good sense of understandings. Yet, he is breaking English grammar, not writing the Wildcard of the first letters of the sentences? On the other hand, that is what he intended to do so!
Look at the cartoon there! It catches my eyes. I like drawing lines—simple and eye-friendly, yet the painting color scheme is lively and clean, contrasting with the primary colors- yellow, red, and green is definitely appearing. As I have said that, the cartoons drawing lines are not much complicated but they are being alive! Do you believe in me? Let us prove together, in the image, you please look fixedly at the eye of the fish. What does its eye tell you something? Yeah, he is being alive. But, in fact, he is dead and on the dish, which is now being served.
Some of outstanding Dr. Seuss’ cartoon characters are grinning, foxy, cunning, naive, and cheerful. Most of his works are classic yet increasingly imaginative, really perky, and boisterous rhymes. The cartoons characters are being alive!
There! The book “Oh! The Places You'll go!”
Why did this reputed book named “Oh! The Places You'll go!” ?
Walk the talk, in his working life, Dr. Seuss often reminisced with his associated teamwork about his old day while studying at Dartmouth College, the undergraduate roommates, when they came to institute, the words they always say to each other during their handshake was:
“Oh, the places you’ll go! The people you’ll meet!”
Actions speak louder than words, Dr. Seuss did not only speak that words with his the college friends in his former time studying but also in his walk of life, he used those same words “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” for his parting book. Resulting, so far, even Dr. Seuss passed away for nearly two decades, in 1990; his last book is remaining in the best-selling book list and likely EXISTING on the TOP in the long run. Ted won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and 3 more Academy Awards.
He had written a full of praise for the whole who befriended—Dartmouth men and a great place—Dartmouth college of furtherance his entire life sending him to on the top of a successful stage, particularly, as a cartoonist and writer. Ted used to be an editor-in-chief of the humor magazine Jack-O-Lantern that he joined during he spent his life in Dartmouth College. He graduated in 1925.
Yow!
To me, Ted is a good writer who guides more ideals than by practical considerations. Towards the end of his life, he thought even the tiny little spot back to the past—as you can see that, he had picked the verbal exchange they speak to one another in his previous college to name his final book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”
Pertaining to Dr. Seuss’s books—he had written and illustrated, honesty, I have no doubt in his works. Meantime, I trust he intended creating what are good to all the readers in all ages, not for the only kids in nursery school, the middle readers in high school, or adults in college grads but also everyone who are parents, teachers, brothers and sisters, uncles and antes, and relatives.
Why did I say that so?
I think books are no the science needing any experiment to prove what is wrong and right, except books in certain genres-textbooks, manuals, and academic. Books are only the object of texts printing on the papers. The texts are as same as the words,—the words in the form of characters for only reading,—while the words in verbal are for listening. Though, whether any book, if you read it and you got felt in the way of a good norm, you can say that that book is good. it In particular, Dr. Seuss’ books, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” as anyone may almost know, great sent-off for every inches in school in US, Canada, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Latin, China, and later on, throughout the world.
Yeah! With selling over 600 million copies and be rushing onto libraries and bookstores everywhere, yet being translated into more than 20 languages,--these are the best approvals for Dr. Seuss’s admirable masterpieces.
Before I am going to draw you into some part of the book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” here below the two questions, I want you to see and find your best answers for yourself first.
“In old age, isn’t it rather late in life for you to go trekking the Mount Everest in Nepal?”
“In young age, isn’t it rather late in life for you to go trekking the Mount Everest in Nepal?”
Are you finished your answers?
You have no any answer!
You can’t find any best answer. Or
You have the one in your mind.
No matter what is your answer likely, I am not intending to jump into your business. They are just only the opening questions that I have made for you before taking you bump into a new chapter in your life—an illustrated life from one end to another of this book.
These parts are the greatest books “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” to read when you are entering a new chapter in your life. In addition, it’s including my briefs in each chapter as following;
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
Now it’s time for you to go to the great places; school, college, company…and start your new role.
You have brains in your head.Just only, you who have the 32 Parts of the body as same as they do, are able to determine your way to go.
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.
You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.You are smart enough to choose the best direction for your life of journey.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find anyIn case you may not find things right for you, you will change your way of life.
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.
It's opener thereAlways there are chances everywhere. There is the will there is the way.
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happenAny place you go, you may encounter any un-expectation obstacles.
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And then things start to happen,Don’t panic when things happen, you can handle them all.
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
You'll be on your way up!That place you go will help you having an eye-bird view and see things more wild and high.
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.You can do your best in every situation.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don't.
Because, sometimes, you won't.
But not, if you are asleep in your idle bed.The good or the bad, it’s on your own.
I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
that Bang-ups
and Hang-ups
can happen to you.
You can get all hung upLike a bird fall down from the lurch, imagine how it life going on!
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You'll be left in a Lurch.
You will stay behind, of course.
You'll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you'll be in a Slump.
And when you're in a Slump,When you are down, it’s hard to rise up again.
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.
You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.On your way of life, you will experience its tastes yourself.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?
And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...Sometimes, it’s too difficult to make your mind
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.
You can get so confusedWhen you so confused, then you will wait.
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles cross weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...
...for people just waiting.Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or the waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Waiting for the fish to biteHowever, while you are in waiting, you don’t know what would be happen to you.
or waiting for the wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
NO!Wait! For what?
That's not for you!
Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.
No! don’t keep waiting.
With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!
You are so cool to go towards!
Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be as famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.
Go to your place where you can score up your life.
Except when they don'tIt's not the only you do things alone—but with someone else.
Because, sometimes they won't.
I'm afraid that some timesYou need someone to comfort you, to be your best buddies.
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.
All Alone!You need friends.
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 chanceLoneliness will teach you a lot.
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 goDuring your journey, sometimes you can’t escape something through.
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.
On and on you will hike,You will learn and familiar with every problem come up to you.
And I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.
You'll get mixed up, of course,Please, mind your steps during your long destination!
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never, forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
