Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is a wonderfully wise and joyous ode to finding one’s path through the maze of life. In celebration of its 20th anniversary, this classic bestseller has been transformed into a popup book by master paper engineer David A. Carter. Filled with glorious pop-ups, detailed pop-up booklets, special effects, and the complete original text, this classic bursts with vibrant new energy. It’s the perfect diploma for graduates of all ages, and an ideal gift for anyone starting out on a new adventure.Publishers WeeklyFor its 20th anniversary, this ubiquitous classic gets the pop-up treatment, retaining Seuss's buoyant text and original illustrations. Wide flaps containing pop-up vignettes fold down toward readers, alternating with dramatic and impressive full-spread landscapes. Carter's pop-ups capably amplify the message about finding balance when life overwhelms: an erratic, multistory pop-up house teeters above, as the small protagonist can be seen riding an elephant (“with banner flip-flapping”) down below and scoring a basket at the very top. This edition of this graduation-time favorite is likely to pop up in dorm rooms come fall. Up to age 3. (Mar.)
\ Children's Literature\ - Eleanor Heldrich\ Hooray for David Carter! Without changing a picture or a word of Dr. Seuss' spirited and inspiring book first published in 1990 about facing life and its ups and downs with joy and anticipation, Carter, by enlivening the work with pop-ups, brings it to another generation of children. There are seven double-page spreads alternating full spread pop-ups with smaller single page lift-the-flap pops. The text, in Dr. Seuss's usual light verse, begins with "Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places. You're off and away." The next few pages are encouraging: "Oh, the things that can happen." "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you chose." "Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest." Dr. Seuss was too smart to promise life with out problems, though. "I'm sorry to say, but sadly, it's true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups will happen to you." You might lose your way, you may be afraid, you may take the wrong path but "you'll face up to your problems whatever they are. And will you succeed? Yes! You will indeed! (98 and ? percent guaranteed.) KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!" In addition to the upbeat message of the book, it is just plain fun to read, aloud or to yourself.
