One of my favorite Seuss books

I remember asking my mom to let me take this book out of the library time after time. (This was back in the day when we used the library rather than just going out to buy the book.) Mulberry Street appealed to my active imagination and inspired me to look at the obvious in a different way. I'm surprised when I mention this book to people that they've never heard of it! It may be the first Seuss but it's also one of the best in my opinion.
If you like Mulberry Street, be sure to read If I Ran the Zoo and If I Ran the Circus which have similar appeal.

Gool ol' Mulberry street

A clever expose on tall tales and imagination that will never grow old. The illustrations are charming and I don't think anyone cannot relate to this young boy.

The Kids and I Love this Book!

This is a great Dr. Seuss book. In fact it would be hard to say who enjoyed it more, me or the children. The story is about a boy who everyday as he walks home from school, spends some time concocting a wacky story to share with his dad.

In true Seussian fashion, there is great rhyming, fun artwork and lots of imagination. I particularly liked that the book demonstrates how children can "stretch" their own imagination. The technique is simple and one even very young children can practice and enjoy. It involves taking an ordinary scene and exaggerating first one element and then another, until the whole situation is really outlandish and silly. If you start with a wagon being pulled by a horse, for example, the horse can become a zebra, and the wagon something more elaborate until step by step it becomes one of those strange Seussian contraptions with big and little wheels, and umbrellas in odd places. Trust us, it's great fun! And the sharing of the father and child is very heartwarming as well.

Definitely Give This One A Try!
Both my 6 and 8 year olds enjoyed this book. The artwork is very good Seussian stuff, and the rhyming is some of his best in my opinion. I would also add that Seuss seems to be a very good bet for youngsters that are reading ahead of their age level as the content is not overly sophisticated.

Reading Level :::
The Accelerated Reading level (ATOS) for this book is 3.6 - which means that this book is has been analyzed and thought appropriate for the average child reading in the 6th month of the 3rd Grade. This is only a guide for children practicing reading, and the book can of course be read to children of any age.

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.
