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 in busy two-
page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple
elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue
wells of confusion).
Seuss' message is simple but never
sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act,' but through it
all 'There's fun to be done.'
