Shocking, true statistic: some graduates receive as many as half
a dozen copies of the Dr. Seuss classic Oh, the Places You'll Go! Over a lifetime, as they graduate kindergarten to college, they
may accumulate over a dozen copies!
We all love Dr. Seuss, but it has to stop. Help save graduates everywhere from this
burden, from having to smile politely and say 'thank you' yet
again to another copy. Help gift-givers save face. As a public service, no less
and no more than our civic duty, we offer an alternative graduation gift idea: Dream by Susan V. Bosak.
In fact, Dream is perfect for any life milestone, from a birthday to a graduation to a retirement. You're never too young or too old to dream! The
battle is on: Seuss vs Susan. |

Dream: A Tale of Wonder, Wisdom & Wishes by
Susan V. Bosak |
|
|
|
Dr. Seuss is a world champion, knock-out author of more than forty books.
|
|
Susan is the plucky underdog. Who doesn't love to root for the
underdog? (hum Rocky theme song here) |
|
|
|
Told with a wide-eyed, little fellow wearing only either yellow longjohns
or pyjamas, yet who never seems cold. Strange. |
|
Told with a wise old star (gender unknown) with a golden glow who lives in a dream chest at the end of the rainbow. Equally strange. |
|
|
|
Written in Seuss-ical style with the best-known line, "Will you
succeed? Yes, you will indeed. (98¾% guaranteed.)" |
|
Written in Sus-ical style with the best-known line, "Little
dreams, big dreams, each a hope looking for a life to make it
real – a life like yours." |
|
|
|
Illustrated in Dr. Seuss' own inimitable style with wacky creatures, people, and landscapes that are distinctively his. |
|
Illustrated by not just one but by
15 top illustrators including Academy Award winner Shaun Tan, Caldecott Medal winners Leo and
Diane Dillon, and Hans Christian Andersen Medal winner Robert
Ingpen. Search for the hidden star in each illustration – and make a wish with every one you find! |
|
|
|
Conceived in a couple of hours on a few table napkins. Seuss'
last book. |
|
Five years of some blood, a fair bit of sweat and, truth be told, a few tears. Susan's dream. |
|
|
|
No awards – that we know of. |
|
11 national awards – none paid for. |
|
|
|
Recommended by over-zealous sales clerks everywhere. |
|
Recommended by Shakespeare, Confucius, Beethoven, Dickinson,
Einstein, and a host of others – all members of the Club of Dreamers – who contributed inspiring images and quotations. |

|
Moving mountains requires specialized heavy equipment and has
become prohibitively expensive, especially with today's high
student loans. |
|
Climbing the mountain is much more achievable, eco-friendly, and self-satisfying. Do you see the smiling face hidden in the landscape? Dream has lots of cool stuff like that. |
|
|
|
Annual sales of over 300,000 copies. Seuss' income last year, around
$10 million. |
|
Annual sales are up to you. Susan's income last year, by
comparison too miniscule to mention. |
|
|
|
Dead. No author visits or autographs possible. |
|
Alive. Author visits and autographs happily provided. |
