Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6?A lively, straightforward overview of Theodor Geisel's life and work. Although his successes are detailed, his trials are given equal attention, among them are the many rejections he received from publishers; the death of his first wife; and his battle with cancer. Weidt provides highlights of the author/illustrator's journey through a noted career as well as background information on many of his most significant titles. Maguire's full-page pencil sketches capture the subject's appearance and personality as he transforms from a shy young boy to a confident writer. Sources are attributed to a number of interviews and magazine articles; the book does not include photographs of Geisel or reproductions of his artwork.?Cheryl Cufari, N.A.

5.0 out of 5 stars A complete biography on the life of Dr. Seuss, April 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Oh, the Places He Went: A Story about Dr. Seuss--Theodor Seuss Geisel (Creative Minds Biography) (Hardcover)

I did a presentation on Dr. Seuss for a college course. I researched for days and this book contained more helpful information then all of the books and websites put together. The best thing about "Oh, The Places You'll Go" is that it is written for children and is very easy to read. The book is entertaining as well as informative, the author got her information from the family of Dr. Seuss and includes many examples of the kind of person Theodore Geisel was, just look at how he quit smoking! This easy to read biography is good for children or adults that want to learn more about this wonderful author for a school assignment, or for entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone Should Read This Book, June 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Oh, the Places He Went: A Story About Dr. Seuss-Theodor Seuss Geisel (Carolrhoda Creative Minds Book) (Paperback)

For anyone who has ever read a Dr. Seuss book (and who hasn't?), this is by far the best book for adults OR children on the life of Theodore Geisel. Well-researched, well-written, and full of interesting facts. Ms. Weidt is a masterful biographer. And Ms. Maguire's pencil sketches are right in the spirit of some of this playful legend's best work. Thanks to both of them for their attention to detail and revealing some intriguing aspects about Mr. Geisel that sent me looking for more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book....for kids, February 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Oh, the Places He Went: A Story About Dr. Seuss-Theodor Seuss Geisel (Carolrhoda Creative Minds Book) (Paperback)

This is a fun little book that gives some interesting insight to the life of Dr. Seuss, but be aware that it IS a children's book that you can read in 20 minutes. If you're looking for just a nice little tribute, this is it. Don't expect any overwhelming detail or depth. It's just for fun.
