Oh, the Treasures You'll Know!

by Dan Olson, Lucy Olson, Craig MacIntosh (Illustrator)

A wonderful and wise send off for Christian graduates—whether completing confirmation, kindergarten, high school, or college! Congratulations! You’re off on your way.
You’ve been faithful in little —much awaits you. Don’t stray! This Christian parody of Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is full of whimsy and wisdom. Goats take the Wide Path — marked by the Glumpy Lagoon, Whocaresville, and more — while the sheep persevere through trials, stumbles, and storms. A perfect gift to encourage graduates that the graduation that matters most is to glory. ENDORSEMENTS
“ Oh, the Treasures You’ll Know is a witty, wonderful and beautifully illustrated book about following God’s narrow path and storing up treasures in Heaven that will never be lost. I’m glad to recommend this delightful book.”
— Randy Alcorn , author of The Treasure Principle and Money, Possessions and Eternity "Here are core truths distilled in an engaging and entertaining way. I love that I can sit and read it as a storybook to young kids, but also give it as an excellent and truly edifying gift to High school graduates." — Scott James , elder at The Church at Brooks Hills, author of The Littlest Watchman , Mission Accomplished , and The Expected One .

Reviews

[Liam]

Great little parody of the Suess classic with the message of Bunyan rather than Suess. Very cleverly done!

[Yari]

Meant for children but I just wonder if the information is too over their heads. For example, "... You'll gain treasures in heaven by losing your life..." Deep concepts necessitates a target group of those above 5th grade (and not the pre-schoolers the book was given to in the christian school I received it from). I have to give credit to the illustrator, Craig Macintosh for incorporating diversity and various skin colors. Its unnerving to read a a book to a child where they are not represented well. Excellent illustrations- definitely Suess-like.

[Debbie]

A good book to read out loud and to ponder.

[Faith]

A rhyming adventure that encourages staying on the straight and narrow way, with inspiration from Pilgrim's Progress and Dr. Suess. A great gift.

[Tim Wester]

Interesting for graduations

[Kelly]

Disappointing: not always age-appropriate (re. simplicity) nor nearly as light-hearted as Dr. Seuss.
