Oh, the Places You'll Go!
Now I have read a few children's books in my day. Okay, I've read more than a few... and I am quite sure that they don't get (much) better than this.
Few can be compared to Dr. Seuss when he is at his worst. But when the Doctor is infusing readers with his infectious energies, urging each and every to grab hold of their seemingly out-of-reach potential... well... it gives me shivers (yeah, that's right, shivers!)
"You'll be on your way up! You'll be seeing great sights! You'll join the high fliers, who soar to high heights!"
Change is a stressor irrespective of age, and the words that the Doctor strings together to motivate positive energy into that change is inspiring. Perhaps that is what makes this book more than just a book. It's a motivator of new beginnings. It's not an agent of change, but a reflection of the opportunities that change has the potential to bring.
The book is timeless and the appropriate age of readership is ageless. If you have never owned a copy for yourself, be sure to go out and get 6 copies for a half dozen people you love, TODAY!
