Theodor Seuss Geisel was born 2 March 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He graduated Dartmouth College in 1925, and proceeded on to Oxford University with the intent of acquiring a doctorate in literature. At Oxford he met Helen Palmer, who he wed in 1927. He returned from Europe in 1927, and began working for a magazine called Judge, the leading humor magazine in America at the time, submitting both cartoons and humorous articles for them. Additionally, he was submitting cartoons to Life, Vanity Fair and Liberty. In some of his works, he'd made reference to an insecticide called Flit. These references gained notice, and led to a contract to draw comic ads for Flit. This association lasted 17 years, gained him national exposure, and coined the catchphrase "Quick, Henry, the Flit!"
In 1936 on the way to a vacation in Europe, listening to the rhythm of the ship's engines, he came up with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, which was then promptly rejected by the first 43 publishers he showed it to. Eventually in 1937 a friend published the book for him, and it went on to at least moderate success.
During World War II, Geisel joined the army and was sent to Hollywood. Captain Geisel would write for Frank Capra's Signal Corps Unit (for which he won the Legion of Merit) and do documentaries (he won Oscar's for Hitler Lives and Design for Death). He also created a cartoon called Gerald McBoing-Boing which also won him an Oscar.
In May of 1954, Life published a report concerning illiteracy among school children. The report said, among other things, that children were having trouble to read because their books were boring. This inspired Geisel's publisher, and prompted him to send Geisel a list of 400 words he felt were important, asked him to cut the list to 250 words (the publishers idea of how many words at one time a first grader could absorb), and write a book. Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him published The Cat in the Hat , which went on to instant success.
In 1960 Bennett Cerf bet Geisel $50 that he couldn't write an entire book using only fifty words. The result was Green Eggs and Ham . Cerf never paid the $50 from the bet.
Helen Palmer Geisel died in 1967. Theodor Geisel married Audrey Stone Diamond in 1968. Theodor Seuss Geisel died 24 September 1991.

Quick read of encouragement. Fun activities within the pages. Read for my daughter.

If you are really in a jam and unprepared for your final exam on 'Oh The Places You Will Go', then this Cliff Notes version may be your best bet. Sure it lacks the detail, but it basically hits the main theme.

A cute mini book inspired by Dr. Seuss's Oh, The Places You'll Go. Not as good as the original, but includes some fun interactive pieces such as two slide-to-move mechanisms and a spinning mechanism that creates a very cool effect.
I found a copy in the Little Free Library near my house and picked it up to read with the kids at work. One of the moving mechanism pieces was missing (appears to have come unglued) so definitely a book you have to be gentle with. Wouldn't recommend for very young children without adult supervision.
Cute illustrations based on the original book. The wording was not quite as catchy as the original and a little clunky at times, but it was a cute book overall.

I thought this book was adorable. I have been doing reading time with my son every day since he was born. I enjoy reading this book and interacting with the pull tabs and pop ups throughout this little book.

After you die, your heirs will sell your name and your art to an increasingly desperate series of cash-grab projects.
Somehow this destiny was omitted from Oh, the Places You'll Go.

I thought this book had more interactive items. Since there are few of them, I don't think it's worth buying as compared to the original "Oh the places you'll go!"

The pop-up elements of this book were genuinely creative and fun, and were an improvement on many of this genre.

Oh,Baby Go, Baby is a wonderful spin off of Dr. Seuss' "Oh the Places You'll Go", designed for babies or toddlers. This story is of course much shorter and features interactive sensory experiences such as a fluffy tree or a swirling wheel. Fun!

An adaptation from Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”, this pop-up book has fluff, foil, banners flapping, and even has a lever to set the baby off on his adventures! We loved this so much, we decided to use the book as the theme for my son’s first birthday party.
