Twenty-five years have passed since Dr. Seuss’s final words to us were published. At the time, we didn’t know these would be his last—but he knew. His biographers, Judith and Neil Morgan, would later write: “There was never any doubt that Ted considered Oh, the Places You’ll Go! his farewell salute, his last parade, Mulberry Street gone worldwide.”
Dr. Seuss, when pressed during interviews, always said that, the message his books had in common was “hope.” This was never more evident than in Oh, the Places You’ll Go! For this final book, Ted gathered his favorite unpublished sketches, pinned them up on the cork walls of his studio and then set about finding a way to make them connect. The result was the most powerful graphic work he had done in many years.

Boundless Reach. Timeless Impact.
The year was 1990 when Dr. Seuss’s final words to us were published. At the time, we didn’t know these would be his last—but he knew. His biographers, Judith and Neil Morgan, would later write: “There was never any doubt that Ted considered Oh, the Places You’ll Go! his farewell salute, his last parade, Mulberry Street gone worldwide.”
Dr. Seuss, when pressed during interviews, always said that, the message his books had in common was “hope.” This was never more evident than in Oh, the Places You’ll Go! For this final book, Ted gathered his favorite unpublished sketches, pinned them up on the cork walls of his studio and then set about finding a way to make them connect. The result was the most powerful graphic work he had done in many years.
When Oh, the Places You’ll Go! was published, it quickly appeared on The New York Times “adult” best-seller list, where it remained for more than two years. Ted’s great joy was getting Random House’s weekly ranking in the Sunday Times Book Review. After 1.5 million copies had been sold, Ted exclaimed: “This proves it! I no longer write for children. I write for people!”

This artwork is one of the last pages in Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Here Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) not only sums up his thoughts about life but, in many ways, his thoughts about his own journey. The narrative Ted wrote on the accompanying page speaks boldly about life’s great ups and downs, a notion he doesn’t shy away from and one that is clearly evident in this striking image. Ted’s main character moves laterally across this Seussian landscape in a comfortably open space, as if balanced for whichever way life may take him.

“Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is vintage Seuss, an anything-but-solemn illustrated sermon on the thrills and adventures that await you on the road to success in life. Of course, the doctor points out the pitfalls as well as the summits. But in the end all comes out right, as that young pajama-clad Seussian hero triumphs over the delightfully fearsome pictorial creatures that bestrew this way.” — Herb Kupferberg’s May 1990 syndicated conversation with Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss’s iconic cover image has become synonymous with the ideals outlined in Kupferberg’s statement above. The fact that it graces the cover of his last book has catapulted the image into the public conscious at a level beyond that of nearly any other Seussian image.
