Bookroo's summary

Young Marco turns his mundane walk home into a fantastical journey, conjuring up a parade of whimsical sights to impress his father. From elephants pulling sleighs to other wild wonders, Marco's vivid imagination transforms Mulberry Street into a spectacle. Will his creative tale win his father's approval, or will reality fall short of his dreams? Discover how far a little imagination can take you in this timeless adventure.

From the publisher

Dr. Seuss’s very first book for children! From a mere horse and wagon, young Marco concocts a colorful cast of characters, making Mulberry Street the most interesting location in town. Dr. Seuss’s signature rhythmic text, combined with his unmistakable illustrations, will appeal to fans of all ages, who will cheer when our hero proves that a little imagination can go a very long way. (Who wouldn’t cheer when an elephant-pulled sleigh raced by?) Now over seventy-five years old, this story is as timeless as ever. And Marco’s singular kind of optimism is also evident in McElligot’s Pool.
