A journey in search of a trouble-free place

After a stubbed toe prompts a search for somewhere with fewer troubles, the book sends its hero toward Solla Sollew, encountering obstacles along the way. The journey gives the humorous picture book a clear throughline: the contrast between trying to escape difficulties and facing them directly. Its invented destinations and named perils frame that idea in an adventure, while the premise also leaves room to talk about everyday frustrations and how people respond to them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture-book adventures
  • Families or educators looking for a story that can prompt discussion about handling obstacles

Book overview

A perennial favorite and a perfect gift for anyone starting a new phase in their life!

Dr. Seuss tackles the struggles of everyday life's--difficult people, bullies, bad weather, political unrest, even crowds--in the rhyming picture book I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew. When our hero stubs his toe, he decides to find a less troublesome place to live. Soon he's off on a journey "to the City of Solla Sollew, on the banks of the beautiful River Wah-Hoo, where they never have troubles! At least, very few." But between his encounters with the Midwinter Jicker and the Perilous Poozer of Pompelmoose Pass, he soon finds out that confronting his problems might actually be easier than running away from them. A funny story that can be read purely for entertainment, I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew is ideal for sparking discussions. It's message--that the best way to deal with an obstacle is by tackling it head-on--makes this an perfect gift for all ages and occasions--especially graduations!
