Marvin K. Mooney Will you Please go NOW!!!!!

How Many times Have I heard this story and re read it to my boys in this lifetime.....Far to many to count I would say.

From Zike-Bikes to Stilts, Crunk-cars to Zumble-Zays, Broomsticks to Bumble-boats, Jets and Ga-Zooms.....Marvin K was asked to leave any way he could as long as he just went. And so he did.

When I was a little girl my family had a lady living with us and she was a Big fan of Dr. Seuss. She would sit for hours with me and my brother reading this story over and over again. She eventually moved away from our home and we, unfortunatley, lost contact with her for amlost 25 years. It is my most favorite story book ever. So much so that I special ordered it for my boys.
I tracked this woman down about 3 years ago and we got to talking about how goofy we all were when we were kids and she asked me if I remembered Marvin K. Mooney and when I told her that I got it for my kids she broke down in tears!

What a fantastic memory!
