So You Want to See the World by Jason Pruett ~ Picture book blog tour.

So You Want to See the World? by Jason Pruett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Source: Received ebook from publisher for review.
Genre: Picture book

Book Description:  Send your favorite graduates off on their next adventure! Full of quirky illustrations and fun rhyming text, this book is a great way to recognize all they've accomplished and show them that you're confident they'll succeed in the future. Whether they're heading out into the world or staying close to home, help them mark this important milestone with this inspirational and encouraging gift. 



My thoughts: This is a fun picture book written in rhyme. It has the feeling of Dr. Seuss, the pictures and the way it is written will be sure to appeal to anyone who loves Dr Seuss books.

The thing that impressed me the most is that this book is about possibilities. It is for dreaming and planning for the future. It is uplifting in the fact that it helps the reader feel that there are any number of directions they could go that would be appealing and adventurous. It talks about food, hiking, cruising, the wonders of the world., etc.

I feel that this book would be perfect for all ages. I could see a parent with a child sitting on their lap looking at the pictures displaying maps/buildings/food and talking about them. There are many possibilities in this book. To quote the last two sentences, "To live is to be, so go on and be it. The wold is calling, so go on and see it."
