I think this book is a great way in which children can let their imagination run wild.

This book was published in the 30's, clearly before he had fully found his voice and wild imaginary characters and themes. So ... nice, enjoyable but not up to the standard of books to come.

Unfortunately, like the Dad in the book, I had little patience for this outlandish story. This kid, Marco, is really turning minnows into whales.

I have... conflicting feelings about this book. Kind of disappointing, tbh.

I had no idea this was the first Dr. Seuss book, so after I found that out I decided to sit down and read it.
The story tells of a child who walks home from school and tells his father everything he "sees." His father calls them lies, but we see that the son has a massive imagination. I felt kind of sad for him at the end because had his this huge story thought up, and with one look from his dad it withered away and all he told him was he saw a buggy on Mulberry Street.
The rejection and sternness of his dad made me feel so bad for him!
