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\u2019s 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\u2019t cheer when an elephant-pulled sleigh raced by?) Now over seventy-five years old, this story is as timeless as ever. And Marco\u2019s singular kind of optimism is also evident in\u00a0McElligot\u2019s Pool.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On Tuesday, the birthday of Theodore Seuss Geisel, known to children around the world as Dr. Seuss, Dr. Seuss Enterprises\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/dr-seuss-books-racist-images-d8ed18335c03319d72f443594c174513\">told<\/a> The Associated Press in a statement, \u201cThese books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.
