孩子，今天你将可以远行，去那个你想去的地方！“You’re on your own.And your know what you know.And you are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”孩子，你已经可以自行决定哪里是你想去的地方了，但是我们还是要提醒你，不要过度沉醉于成功时的欣喜若狂，也不要迷离在失败时的黯然神伤，成功和失败都是常事，不要因为一时的处境变迁而放弃自己最初的梦想。苏斯博士用诗一样的语言鼓励刚刚启程的孩子们去探索，去展望，去克服困难，去实现理想。如果你的孩子已经“长大”，那就送给他这本小书，鼓励他勇敢向前吧。
Illus. in full color. "Don't be fooled by the title of this seriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain,' kid version. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, from loneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiar pajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey is captured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act,' but through it all 'There's fun to be done.'"--(starred) Booklist. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
