![]() Legend has it that Geisel came up with this story on a ship. ![]() ![]() RHYTHM AND PICTURES IN “AND TO THINK THAT I SAW IT ON MULBERRY STREET” When I hear stories like this I wonder how many other wonderful writers and illustrators never see widespread success due to plain old lack of luck, and I feel the self-publishing movement is therefore a great thing. It took a while to find a publisher for this one, too, but compared to what author/illustrators are up against today, I’m guessing 20 rejections is actually pretty good.ĭr Seuss may never have moved into picture book world if Geisel had not ran into an old college classmate, who had just become juvenile editor at Vanguard Press. Well, he’d written an abecedary but failed to interest publishers in it. Features of the Tall Tale Tradition nd To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street was Ted Geisel’s first book. ![]()
