Overview / 简介: |
| Some people just won't take the hint when it's time to go to bed, but Marvin K. Mooney eventually gets the message! This fun tale by Dr. Seuss will delight young readers and remind them that they sometimes have to do what they are told! This delightful book forms part of the second stage in HarperCollins' major Dr. Seuss rebrand programme. With the relaunch of 10 more titles in August 2003, such all-time favourites as How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? and Dr. Seuss' Sleep Book boast bright new covers that incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels: Blue Back Books are for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books are for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books are for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! belongs to the Green Back Book range. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| 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) --Paul Hughes -- |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| My son is an 11 month infant and we love to read this book. He knows who Marvin is and when I ask him to find Marvin he points him out with his finger. He seems to be calling him a Dog sometimes and maybe he's right. One night I said Goodbye Marvin and my little guy waved bye-bye to him. This is one of those few stories that niether he nor I get tired of reading and rereading. Now when I start in, "The time has come..." (the openning lines), my son looks for the book. He also recognizes the cow, lion, and elephant and makes their sounds. There really is surprisingly a lot to this book to enjoy. I have even thought about there being an existential subtext here and that the book is about time (the mysterious narrator's hand wears a watch and refers to time in the opening lines) and life's finitude (to go means death) ... Okay, woah--layers of meaing here. My point is that this really is a strange, wonderful, imaginative, and addicting little book. And hey, for once, Dr. Seuss's main character isn't Scottish. I wish it came as a board book because my little guy is pretty rough on the pages sometimes. |
About the Author / 作者介绍: |
| "A person's a person, no matter how small," Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, would say. "Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted."
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped millions of kids learn to read.
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 2, 1904. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1925, he went to Oxford University, intending to acquire a doctorate in literature. At Oxford, Geisel met Helen Palmer, whom he wed in 1927. Upon his return to America later that year, Geisel published cartoons and humorous articles for Judge, the leading humor magazine in America at that time. His cartoons also appeared in major magazines such as Life, Vanity Fair, and Liberty. Geisel gained national exposure when he won an advertising contract for an insecticide called Flit. He coined the phrase, "Quick, Henry, the Flit!" which became a popular expression.
Geisel published his first children's book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937, after 27 publishers rejected it.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, an Academy Award, three Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards, and three Caldecott Honors, Geisel wrote and illustrated 44 books. While Theodor Geisel died on September 24, 1991, Dr. Seuss lives on, inspiring generations of children of all ages to explore the joys of reading. |
