This book is appropriate for all ages, I think as a child you read it and think of going on adventures and seeing the world, but when you get older, you see how life really turns out and actually understand what dr. Seuss was trying to say.
I would have liked this book as a kid because I've always loved Dr. Seuss and the way he can put important messages into easy to understand books for children.
