My Thoughts
· I love this book! I love Dr. Seuss, and I love the illustrations. I think this is an incredible book. Not only does it inspire the readers to get excited about their journey, but it also sticks to the truth that sometimes, our journeys are not going to be fun or happy, and that sometimes we will have to wait, or we will feel all alone. But then it continues with all the excitement that waits ahead. I think Dr. Seuss is genius. He is so talented at rhyming, a task that is not so easy to do, and he is amazing and creating wild illustrations of the imagination. This book, although intended for ages 4-8, seems a bit too hard for that age range. There are made up words, and grammatically incorrect words, and frankly, it can be a bit confusing for adults to read well aloud. So I disagree with the age range assigned, as far as reading goes. This book however, does make a great read aloud for all ages!

How to Use in the Classroom
I have seen this book used for graduating classes, such as 8th grade classrooms and for graduating high school seniors. This is a great inspirational book when it comes to moving on to the next stage of life. I have also used this book in asking students to create their own imaginary place, a place they would love to visit if it were real, a place that is specifically made for them to enjoy. I used this book for an art assignment, but could be easily turned into a writing assignment. Dr. Seuss books are also a great resource in teaching rhyming poetry, or in transitional read aloud times.More Resources:
