About the book
Dr. Seuss's first children's book, published in 1937, follows a boy named Marco as he walks home from school. His father has told him to keep his eyelids up and see what he can see, yet all Marco has noticed is a horse pulling a wagon along Mulberry Street. Hoping to have something more exciting to report, he starts imagining a grander scene. The horse becomes other creatures, and the wagon becomes other vehicles. Soon a band, police escorts, city officials and an airplane crowd into the street, forming an elaborate parade that Marco is eager to describe to his father.
