"A plain horse and wagon on Mulberry Street grows into a story that no one can beat!" In this tale, Young Marco allows his imagination to run riot as he travels home from school one day, to the extent that a horse and cart is soon transformed into a chaotic carnival of colourful creatures in his own mind. This new cover reprint of Dr. Seuss's first book features the distinctive red border design which instantly identifies the work with such Seussian classics as "The Cat in the Hat" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" Written in 1937, it introduces young readers to the fun of letting your imagination run away with you.

Author Biography

Theodor Seuss Geisel -- better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss -- was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children's books, and his first book -- And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street -- was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
