This would be a good book to read to a Kindergarten age class because there are a lot of phrases that are repetitive. Although I am not crazy about the overall story of the book, it is fun to look at and read with small children. (

Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! is a story devoted to different ways the prolonged guest may leave the premises. The narrator suggests every idea thought possible and even some that are not possible at all. The easy-to-read text is perfect to show beginning readers that reading can be easy and fun to learn! Teachers can find similar books along with fun games and activities to try with their students at www.seussville.com.

This story is about trying to get Marvin K. Mooney to leave. The story talks about the different things Marvin could ride in. At the end of the book Marvin said it was time for him to leave. This story teaches children to listen to someone and when they ask you to leave then go ahead and leave instead of just staying where you are.

You can't go wrong with Dr. Seuss of course, but this one isn't one of my favorites. Silly text and illustrations as always, but the story is just okay. (

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
