Book of the Day: I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew

I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew
Dr. Seuss
Random House (1965)


Way back when, in my post entitled Zizzer, Zazzer, Zuzz http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8749317886050281919#editor/target=post;postID=388418645757093I3580, I talked about all our favorite Dr. Seuss books.  Sadly, we completely missed out on Solla Sollew.  In fact, I had never really heard of it before until Mirette got a copy for her birthday.

It now ranks as my number one all time Dr. Seuss favorite!!!  In fact, I kind-of beg Mirette to let me read it to her.

Why?  Well for one thing, it's super fun to read.   I jumped up behind him. Then all through that day The Wubble wubbedon in a wubble-some way.  The road got more bumpy, more rocky more tricky.  By midnight, I tell you, my stomach felt icky.

The other reason is that it's yet another book that includes a wonderful reminder to stay in the present and appreciate what we have.   We are not going to find what we are looking for in Solla Sollew On the banks of the beautiful River Wah-Hoo, Where they never have troubles! At least, very few.

Hope you have as much fun with this book as we have.
