Book summary
A celebration of the joys, challenges, and even the disappointments of life, as well as an ode to self-esteem and self-determination, OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! follows the adventures of a young, yellow-clad boy setting out on an amazing journey. "98 and ¾ percent guaranteed" that he will do well, the child experiences everything imaginable, from a smooth flight across a bright pastel patchwork field to facing down a furry green beast in an orange cave. Crazily patterned, strangely built, and oddly inhabited lands mimic the ups and downs of his voyage. Colorful, wildly imaginative illustrations accompany the text of this book, which is often seen as the perfect graduation gift--for those setting forth on adventures from kindergarten to graduate school and beyond.
