Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! by Dr. Seuss

Random House, New York, 1972.
Hardcover edition, 32 pages, ISBN 0-394-92490-8.

With typical Seussian humor, the adult in this story is represented by a watch-wearing forearm coming from the side of the page with a finger pointing toward wherever it is that Marvin K. Mooney needs to GO NOW!. Marvin is exhorted to leave expeditiously by any number of  reasonable or ridiculous methods
from bike to camelback in a bureau drawer. Filled with Seuss's typical assortment of strange and wonderful creatures and creations, the book draws to its inevitable conclusion with "The time had come. SO... Marvin WENT."

Great fun for a toddler bedtime storyhour or as the dramatic conclusion to any other program.

Phonological awareness is enhanced by sounding out rhymes of real and made-up words. Large text, very well spaced, and the repetition of "You can go..." assist beginning readers in seeing the words and deciphering the context.
