A time-tested classic
Read aloud by comedian John Lithgow (perhaps best known for his performance in "Third Rock from the Sun"), Oh, the Places You'll Go! is an audiobook production of a brief yet wise and tongue-in-cheek humorous graduation speech, as created by the one and only classic children's author Dr. Seuss (1904-1991). In his characteristic metered rhyme, Seuss speaks of the Great Balancing Act and encourages those listening to develop their untapped potential. "And will you succeed? / Yes! You will, indeed! / (98 and 3/4 percent... guaranteed.)" Rounding out the audio CD is an unabridged production of "The Lorax", Dr. Seuss' classic warning against the ecological danger posed by mindless progress, as narrated by Ted Dansen. Packaged with a convenient gift card holder, Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a time-tested classic especially recommended as a graduation gift for young (and old!) people who have just completed any major educational achievement of note. 1 CD, approx. 30 minutes. ...

An inspirational gift to the global neighborhood
There are few books, paper or audio, that I find inspirational to the point I share it with everyone in my "neighborhood".This audio book was very moving for me, so much so that I have purchased it as a gift for many and will share it as a gift for others during this Holiday season.Mr. Rogers was one of the regular shows I grew up with as a child, but more importantly, his thoughts about life should be with all of us as adults, in the global neighborhood.My ten year old daughter listens to the CD to help her go to sleep at night, and my 13 year old son sneaks a listen between rock and jazz.While they did not have the opportunity to experience Mr. Rogers as I did as a child, they have been touched by him at a very important part of their lives.Once you listen to this CD, you may not want to put on a red sweater and white sneakers, but you will want to share it with your neighborhood.This is a very touching CD enjoyable by all. --Suzann Brucato

Moving, Reflective, Worth every penny
Mister Rogers was a regular part of my life as a child. I remember sitting in front of the TV everyday. Singing his "It's such a good feeling..." song along with him. His gentle nature and optimistic look on life rubbed off on me.

Today, as I travel the country presenting workshops and seminars on the power of being positively passionate and defeating the ill effects of negativity, I think Mr. Rogers' words echo within.

This book captures the essence of Mr. Rogers' work. Read it and reflect on his simple truths and powerful philosophies. I've already purchased several copies of this book as gifts to others.

Mr. Rogers lives in every person who searches for the good in things and strives to make the world a better place! ... Read more

Orders from Amazon are usually fast and accurate
most of the time I order VHS movies, but several times I've ordered a book that was not available at my local library. At Play arrived in great condition and in good time. I also ordered a Stephen King book,which also got here pretty fast and was also like new. ......Joyce James

Don't buy the audiobook!
I bought the audiobook version, and was very disappointed.The problem here is that the narrator's voice constantly modulated between whispers and shouting.This is very irritating and makes it either hard to hear or too loud.Please find someone else next time to read this book please!

A moving story, by a skillful writer
Having enjoyed the movie, I was anxious to read this book. I find it hard to say which I liked better. Other reviewers have outlined the main features of the story. The characters are sharply outlined and deeply revealed. This is an excellent read. However, the end was a bit disappointing to me, as it seems to leave the reader "up in the air" regarding the main character's destiny. The best characterization, to me, was of the missionary's wife. I thought the most moving and, in a way inspiring, event was the missionary's death. Peter Matthiessen is a very good writer.

Book
This is the book I needed.The seller is prompt and precise.Excellent!
