Publisher Description
"Don't be fooled by the title of this seriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain,' kid version. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, from loneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiar pajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey is captured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act,' but through it all 'There's fun to be done.'" --(starred) Booklist.

"One of my all time favorite books! I love this book because it talks about all of the places that a person could go or do along the journey of life. I got this book as a gift from my parents for graduation and I absolutely loved it. It is a great book to read at any age throughout life and Dr. Seuss really did an amazing job with putting such concerning thoughts for some into such great wise words."
