Dr. Seuss - Oh the places You'll Go!

[divea]

I was reading this for the first time last night to hte kids. The boy had fun but he does not get it, so it was mostly imagery. The girl, got it. I was relating it with the events of her life, and how she is good at everything she does and how she has to make a choice and all that. Her eyes were all lit up and her smile was all proud. I could see she was inspired and she knew exactly ho it was to be in a slump.

Now, I don't think I am doing the book justice, cozif with my ordinary reading and explanation, the girl is inspired, there has to be a better way to do it. What did you do?? Did you read the book in one go. We've stopped half way through, coz I thought I wanted to see her light up again when I read the second half.

I am all ears.

Divea,

I just let this book speak for itself. My son loves this book, too, and think he got enough of it not to explain it, I just let it sink in over time. That's the great thing about Dr. Seuss; it doesn't need too much explaining.

Generally, I read a lot to my kids, and we just enjoy the story, and then later on when we run into situations where the messages fit, I say, "Do you remember when we read/saw...?" My kids are like, "Oh, it's not just YOU nagging us, other people think that too!"
