Oh, why won''t Marvin K. Mooney just please go now? In this
1972 classic for "beginning beginners," Dr. Seuss devotes his
rhymes to budging the reluctant young Marvin K.: "The time has
come. The time is now. Just go. Go. GO! I don''t care how." But
despite his impatience, our narrator certainly isn''t short of ideas
on how Marvin could make an exit. "You can go on stilts. You can go
by fish. You can go in a Crunk-Car if you wish." Seuss''s ever wacky
illustrations accompany each new mode of transport, from balloon to
broomstick to Bumble-Boat. And if those who are just learning find
a word they don''t know, chances are Seuss has simply made it up to
fill out this ear-pleasing, easy-to-read text. This book is yet
another fun and euphonious entry from the good doctor, a silly
primer for budding rhymers and readers. Ages 4 to 8
