Critic reviews

"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....Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act,' but through it all 'There's fun to be done.'" ( Booklist)

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Probably the best 7 minutes, I have listened to. The motivational words, read by the great John Lithgow, with stirring music, is just what you need to lift your spirits and get you ready for the day, the week, for life. Often a gift for graduation, it motivates and tells it like it is. Listen to it everyday on the way to work and it may make your days better.

GREAT BOOK FOR ANY AGE - Ages 0-120!!!!!!

This book is a book that I have purchased and given to people many times. I have given this book to children, as well as people well over their retirement age! It contains wisdom that is concentrated, precise, concise, simple, and gets easily absorbed by your mind. It helps to quickly "ground" and encourage anyone. The book is "short and sweet" as they say! Now that I've discovered this spectacular audio version of the book, I expect that I will wind up purchasing many audio copies of the book as well! This audio version is the best that I've ever heard. Such a blessing to be able to listen to this book while you do something else physically (like for those automobile trips or commutes. This helps the book's subject matter to enter the conscious and subconscious mind in a much more enjoyable and refreshing manner.

great

A great book, by a great author with a wonderful message. The music was fun and carefree. I loved this version

Not just for Kids

I love this book it reminds me to remember that everything will be OK. No Matter how many obstacles you and I will win

Loved reading it to my young daughter. Now I love reading it for myself!

what a lovely reminder of what we, as humans are capable of accomplishing when we believe in our selves

Lovely effects!

Any additional comments?

My 5-6 year-old son loves the narration. We have the book, but as English is not my first language, I wanted a good narration. And this is a very good one, very entertaining, with nice sound effects.

The book is pretty short. What I've done several times is I open the book, put the audio, and move through the pages while it's being narrated.

Very Positive

enjoyed listening. the positivity of the story makes me want the physical book. to see pictures.
