Worthwhile Seuss Jessica Guptill This is a Seuss book that we'd never heard of until we found it at my grandmother in law's house. We read it to the kids, they loved it, and so did we, so we bought our own copy and it's become a frequently read selection to my 2- and 4-year olds. It's a great selection about how the grass isn't always greener on the other side and to be happy with what you've got (or where you live).. "My 2 year old great niece was so happy to get this book" according to Amazon Customer. My 2 year old great niece was so happy to get this book. She was jumping up and down with the book in her hand. She even slept with it under her pillow. This morning she told me that she wanted to go to Solla Sollew..

When the fair city is finally attained there is, of course, a last straw; but a happy twist suggests troubles may be better faced than escaped. With a toe stubbed, and a tail bitten by a Quilligan Quail ("And I learned there are troubles of more than one kind. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr. Some come from ahead, and some come from behind"), he sets out on an ill-fated journey to find a better, less troublesome place: the fabled city of Solla Sollew, no less, "on the banks of the beautiful River Wah-Hoo,/ Where they never have troubles. At least very few." Like most dreamlands, Solla Sollew is harder to attain than expected--nobody seems to know how to get there, and the journey is far wors
