Dr. Seuss’s very first book for children! From a mere horse and wagon, young Marco concocts a colorful cast of characters, making Mulberry Street the most interesting location in town. Dr. Seuss’s signature rhythmic text, combined with his unmistakable illustrations, will appeal to fans of all ages, who will cheer when our hero proves that a little imagination can go a very long way. (Who wouldn’t cheer when an elephant-pulled sleigh raced by?) Now over seventy-five years old, this story is as timeless as ever. And Marco’s singular kind of optimism is also evident in McElligot’s Pool.

In 1892, nine-year-old Dom’s mother puts him on a ship leaving Italy, bound for America. He is a stowaway, traveling alone and with nothing of value except for a new pair of shoes from his mother. In the turbulent world of homeless children in Manhattan’s Five Points, Dom learns street smarts, and not only survives, but thrives by starting his own business. A vivid, fascinating story of an exceptional boy, based in part on the author’s grandfather.

The old tea house on Mulberry Street in Belfast hasn't changed much over the years. But it's about to bear witness to some significant transformations ... Daniel Stanley might make the most glorious deserts in the whole of Ireland, but he won't support his wife Penny's desire to have at least one bun in the oven.

Clare returns home from twenty years in New York, still cherishing the memory of the one night she truly loved - and lost. And Penny herself discovers a secret from the past - and a sexy estate agent very much in her present. They all want their lives to change - but are they willing to face the consequences? And the possibility that you might not always be able to have your cake - and eat it.

"A boy walks home one day, only to find his street under construction! As he enjoys watching the excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks, pavers, and more, he gets a sense of the building process from start to finish. From blueprints to demolition to fresh, new asphalt, friendly, bright illustrations show the construction machines and workers up close"--

To celebrate sixty sensational years of one of Dr. Seuss's most beloved classics is the complete story to color.

There are many streets across America located within, or near the Barrios. Mulberry Street is one of those found in Roswell, New Mexico where one family struggles against the inevitability of failure and death. La Licha is the story of one woman's family and how abuse, alcohol, and drugs can take them from the appearance of respectability in the early years, to a place where death becomes a constant companion as years pass. Licha is an ordinary woman faced with extraordinary challenges as her sons mature and begin their paths of self-destruction and a common adage is, "It's better to have a drug dealer in the family since it means you won't have to support them any longer." In this novel, children, teenagers, young men, and those women unlucky enough to live on Mulberry Street find little comfort in a life where heroes are absent, and dreams are unrealized. Follow each of the members of the Galindo family through the decades as they experience life at the edge of the barrio during the tumultuous period of their adolescent years, and then later as they become young men struggling to find their identity. There are others who live on this street of sorrows like Don Luis, the old man who's drinking often finds him passed out unceremoniously in the street or his front yard. Or, Mama Dia and her ability to act as a window to the madness occurring on a daily basis with her common sense insight into the madness she witnesses. The pages of La Licha tell a story of a mother's unselfish love, a brotherhood of men who live and die together, and the futility of hope for a better future.
