a flight of fancy into the future of a generic "you" who is
venturing out into the world, where he will have ups and downs but
will succeed and finally "MOVE MOUNTAINS!" While doting relatives

內容簡介:
In this classic Seussian tale, the good doctor primes his
readers against all the little mishaps and misadventures that can
befall even the best of us -- from bang-ups and hang-ups to lurches
and slumps -- encouraging us to take life in our stride! With his
unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous
rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping
them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully
anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK''s top ten
favourite children''s authors, Seuss is firmly established as a
global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold
worldwide. As the first step in a major rebrand programme,
HarperCollins is relaunching 17 of Dr. Seuss''s best-selling books,
including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green
Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks.

the most beloved children’s book author in the world.
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children,

of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he
helped millions of kids learn to read.
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts,
on March 2, 1904. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1925,
he went to Oxford University, intending to acquire a doctorate in
literature.
Geisel published his first children''s book, And to Think That I
Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937, after 27 publishers rejected
it.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, an Academy Award, three
Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards, and three Caldecott Honors,
Geisel wrote and illustrated 44 books. While Theodor Geisel died on
September 24, 1991, Dr. Seuss lives on, inspiring generations of
children of all ages to explore the joys of reading.
