And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street

Read the first book that started it all where a traditional horse and wagon turns into a blue elephant pulling a sleigh. How? Marco, the main character, invents the tales from what he’s seen on Mulberry Street to impress his father. The exaggerations overwhelm Marco, and he instead tells his father the truth. The book is a classic that shows the virtues of an imagination. Copyright 1938.

Imagine a cat performing tricks, discover a new species with Thing One and Thing Two, and come along for the adventure as the Cat in the Hat brings the outdoors, indoors.

Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
