His ode to the imagination of a child is as fresh and exquisitely outlandish today as it was when first published in 1937. "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. And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street, Seuss’ first published children’s book, and his career as a childrens although, almost didn’t happen. 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. However, when he arrives home he decides instead to tell his father what he actually sawa simple horse and wagon. No, wait! Maybe it should be a reindeer in that harness. ![]() Or better yet, the zebra could be pulling a blue and gold chariot. Imagine if he had something more to report, say, a zebra pulling the wagon. 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. ![]()
