Book Reviews of I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew: (Reissue) (Classic Seuss)
Book Review: My favorite Seuss book ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
This was not only my favorite Dr. Seuss book but probably my all out favorite book. The story is clever and funny. The pictures are awesome - I remember cracking up at them. There are still some phrases or ideas from the book that I reference in my adult life - the midwinter jicker, sleeping on marshmallow pillows... This is an excellent book for children as it teaches them that you can deal with the difficulties that life throws at you and that nothing is achieved without effort. I love this booked and would recommend it to anyone.
Summary of I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew: (Reissue) (Classic Seuss)
Illus. in full color. "The hero of this hilarious tale discovers that in attempting to avoid trouble one often encounters even greater difficulties. Seuss fans will be enthralled."--Childhood Education.Our nameless hero--a typical Seuss hybrid who's part bear, part puppy, and part beyond categorization--has an innocent, carefree life, until it's ruined by minor problems. With a toe stubbed, and a tail bitten by a Quilligan Quail ("And I learned there are troubles of more than one kind. 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 worse than anyone anticipated. 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. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr
