And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street (English)
Author: Dr. Seuss | ISBN: 0394844947 | 19 pages | 1937 | DOC | 9,26 mb
The story follows a boy named Marco, who describes the sights and sounds of imaginary people and vehicles traveling along Mulberry Street in an elaborate fantasy story he dreams up to tell to his father at the end of his walk, but decides instead to simply tell him what he actually saw. Dr. Seuss wrote the story as a commentary about how he felt adults stifled children's imaginations.[citation needed]
"Mulberry Street" is the name of a street in Springfield, Massachusetts, not far from Dr. Seuss's boyhood home on Fairfield Street, and may be the source of the book's name.
The Creedence Clearwater Revival song "Lookin' Out My Back Door" was partly inspired by the book. Dr. Seuss apparently nearly burned the manuscript prior to its publication after being rejected by 27 publishers.
