What does the Pageticker team say about Oh, the Places You'll Go!?
Oh, the Places You'll Go! is Dr Seuss in wise, wildly colourful form: bouncy rhymes, bonkers creatures and a surprisingly thoughtful look at life's ups and downs. We love its encouragement to keep going when the road gets wobbly, though some darker scenes and talk of loneliness may need a little grown-up reassurance for younger children. Best shared aloud, it grows with its audience and works just as well for a four-year-old adventurer as for a seven-year-old facing a new challenge.
