Oh, why won't Marvin K. Mooney just please go now? In this 1972 classic for "beginning beginners," Dr. Seuss devotes his rhymes to budging the reluctant young Marvin K.: "The time has come. The time is now. Just go. Go. GO! I don't care how." But despite his impatience, our narrator certainly isn't short of ideas on how Marvin could make an exit. "You can go on stilts. You can go by fish. You can go in a Crunk-Car if you wish." Seuss's ever wacky illustrations accompany each new mode of transport, from balloon to broomstick to Bumble-Boat. And if those who are just learning find a word they don't know, chances are Seuss has simply made it up to fill out this ear-pleasing, easy-to-read text. This book is yet another fun and euphonious entry from the good doctor, a silly primer for budding rhymers and readers. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. |
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts
on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford
University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising
cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several
leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss's first children's book, And
To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937,
and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In
1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of
Random House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular
series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and
playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant, playful,
and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into
the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In
the process, he helped kids learn to read. |
