Illus. in full color. As little Marco describes the horse and wagon he saw on Mulberry Street, they are transformed into an elephant and a band wagon with a retinue of police.
Marco is in a pickle. His father has instructed him to keep his eyes peeled for interesting sights on the way to and from school, but all Marco has seen is a boring old horse and wagon. Imagine if he had something more to report, say, a zebra pulling the wagon. Or better yet, the zebra could be pulling a blue and gold chariot. No, wait! Maybe it should be a reindeer in that harness. Marco's story grows ever more elaborate as he reasons that a reindeer would be happier pulling a sled, then that a really unusual sight would be an elephant with a ruby-bedecked rajah enthroned on top. "Say! That makes a story that no one can beat, / When I say that I saw it on Mulberry Street." Time and again, Marco tops himself until he is positively wound up with excitement and bursts into his home to tell his dad what he saw on Mulberry Street. Pulitzer-prize winning Dr. Seuss needs no introduction. His ode to the imagination of a child is as fresh and exquisitely outlandish today as it was when first published in 1937. This is a classic that will never fade with age. (Ages 3 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
Mein erstes Dr. Seuss Buch (und BESTIMMT nicht das Letzte!)Nun, jetzt halte ich also endlich mein erstes Dr. Seuss Buch in Händen. Ich bin schon lange ein großer Fan von Kinderbüchern wie Alice im Wunderland (und hinter den Spiegeln), dem Zauberer von Oz (und den zahlreichen mehr oder minder 'grandiosen Fortsetztungen), den Geschichten von Michael Ende und Hans Christian Ansen usw. usw.. Durch die spektakulären Kabuki Comics wurde ich auf den guten Dr. aufmerksam, da seine Werke (zumindest Mulberry Street) immer wieder erwähnt wurden (wie auch im original The Crow Comic). Ich hatte extrem hohe Erwartungen in dieses Buch und es ist wohl leider nur natürlich, dass diese nicht gänzlich erfüllt wurden. Es ist nunmal sein erstes Buch und die Zeichnungen sind toll, aber... naja, nicht SO toll. Auch hatte ich mehr unterschwellige Kommentare in Richtung Gesellschaftskritik etc. erwartet , wie z.B. bei "Alice", was dem erwachsenen Leser dann noch zusätzlichen Reiz bieten würde würde.
Aber was sage ich denn da! Für Kinder ist das Buch (und für die ist es ja schließlich gedacht!) einfach fantastisch. Punkt!
not his best, but still greatDr. Seuss, a classic. This tell of one boy's vivid imagination will make children happy and make us adults try to reconjure our own dreams. The characters are funny and the names will have your tongue in knots. Certainly not his best, I'd say that is is more political and social commentary, but definately a fun fun book to have if you don't already.
The imagination of a childSeuss knows,as any good children's writer should, that the best source is the uninhibited child's delightful imagination.Only a young,fresh mind can make up a story that no one could beat...from seeing a horse & cart on Mulberry Street.
ClassicReceived this book as a child in 1964. Bought it for my son ... it's the best Dr. Seuss book in my opinion
Dr. Seuss at his best - in his FIRST book!New York City at a time when seeing a horse and wagon was so common-place that Marco, walking home from school had to think of something better to tell his dad when he got home. And, oh, what sights he saw! right there on Mulberry Street. Elephants, Eskimos, airplanes dropping confetti, and "a Chinese boy, who eats with sticks." It was great for a little boy in the late 30s in Northern Minnesota, and little kids love when I read it here in California in the 90s. It gives a feeling of Lower Manhattan that can be still found in the city today, though the horse and wagon might be harder to find. Wonderful imagery!
