Oh, the Places You'll Go is a 1990 American children's book written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss.
Info
Oh, the Places You'll Go was the last book Dr. Seuss wrote before his death in 1991.
The main characters in the book are the encouraging narrator and a young boy, who symbolizes the reader in each illustration. With numerous rhymes and occasional silly scenarios, the narrator tires to prepare the reader for life and its ups and downs.
The book is written in second-person, and because of its positive use of future tense, it remains a popular gift for graduates from high school and college.
