I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollewby Dr. Seuss
Take a trip through this intricately imagined, wacky world created by Dr. Seuss and see what happens when the narrator decides to head for Solla Sollew “where they never have troubles, at least very few.” Readers will see that there are troubles everywhere, most much worse than what the narrator left behind. In fact, there are troubles in wonderful Solla Sollew. (Who knew?) Through his wonderfully rhymed verse with its nonsensical words, the good doctor gives readers a simple message that’s sure to help with any troubles.
Tie-in Activity: To keep your youngest passengers out of trouble on a long car trip, consider a car scavenger hunt game. Before the trip, make a check-off list of items you are likely to spot from the car: a red car, bridge, and so on. Use shorter lists with pictures for younger players, and longer lists with words for readers. Give each player a list and let them check off items as you drive along.
