What is the Marriage Ref?

Oh, The Places You’ll Go

My wife and I give this book to our friends’ children for their graduation and many speakers quote from this book during Graduations ceremonies.

Basically, it tells us that success is imminent, if you try. Page after colorful, carefully illustrated page is filled with rhymed wisdom to inspire readers to venture out into the world in search of dreams without fear or inhibition. Mindful of roadblocks and stumbles, the book reminds readers to dust themselves off and keep trying whenever setbacks occur.

This was Dr. Seuss’ last book before he died.

Theodor Seuss Geisel (pronounced /ˈɡaɪzəl/; March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American writer and cartoonist most widely known for his children’s books written under the pen nameDr. Seuss.^[1] He published over 60 children’s books, which were often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His most celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. Numerous adaptations of his work have been created, including eleven television specials, threefeature films, and a Broadway musical.

Geisel also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, most notably for Flit and Standard Oil, and as a political cartoonist for PM, a New York City newspaper. During World War II, he worked in an animation department of the U.S Army, where he wrote Design for Death, a film that later won the 1947 Academy Award for Documentary Feature.

Read Across America is an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. One part of the project is National Read Across America Day, an observance in the United States held on March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss.

Dr. Seuss would have been 105 today. Many of us grew up reading his fanciful tales.

He was born on March 2, 1904 in Massachusetts, although his amazing ‘Cat in the Hat’ wasn’t published until Dr Seuss was 55 years old.

In his lifetime he won two Emmy awards and a Pulitzer Prize for his work.
