Description

A perennial favorite and a perfect read for anyone starting a new phase in their life! In this fun and whimsical rhyming picture book, Dr. Seuss tackles the struggles of everyday life's difficult people, bullies, bad weather, political unrest, or even unruly crowds. When our hero stubs his toe, he decides to find a less troublesome place to live. Soon he's off on a journey to the City of Solla Sollew, on the banks of the beautiful River Wah-Hoo, where they never have troubles! At least, very few. But between his encounters with the Midwinter Jicker and the Perilous Poozer of Pompelmoose Pass, he soon finds out that confronting his problems might actually be easier than running away from them. A funny story that can be read purely for entertainment, I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew is ideal for sparking discussions. Its message—that the best way to deal with an obstacle is by tackling it head-on—makes this a perfect gift for all ages and occasions—especially graduations! Dr. Seuss and his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures, and riotous rhymes have been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of classics such as 'The Cat in the Hat', 'Green Eggs and Ham', and 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!', he
